Now, where was I? You young novices tend to confuse me. Must be the new 
century... What is it XXIInd? I shall have to consult the ephemerides...

Well. You want to be enlightened and I will provide you with the answer

[hiccup]

The answer is - obviously - that for ever demon on a pinhead there are 
three angels, three being the holy number as you already know from my 
teachings... Do you? I don't remember you from the scriptorium...

Father [hiccup] Thomas

Meek are the little children indeed, but that will pass and they will

Beware my son and apply yourself to the humble task of copying the
