Indeed, I had almost des-
paired of doing so until the
next morning. Waking with a
severe headache from my
excesses the night before, I
blearily made my way from my

also confided that those same
young men were quite fond of
his "Charming Deceit", an
unlikely combination of un-
dead froglok tongue and
mugwart, which aided them in
impressing the ladies of the
village.
