These Holy men certainly know how to put the devil in Hell!! That was so much fun reading! It makes me want to cast that damn Devil into Hell my own damn self! Well...about 7 more hours. In the meantime--fasting and prayers!

"Whereupon:--"Bless thee, my daughter," said Rustico, "go we then, and put him there, that he leave me henceforth in peace." Which said, he took the girl to one of the beds and taught her the posture in which she must lie in order to incarcerate this spirit accursed of God. The girl, having never before put any devil in hell, felt on this first occasion a twinge of pain: wherefore she said to Rustico:--"Of a surety, my father, he must be a wicked fellow, this devil, and in very truth a foe to God; for there is sorrow even in hell--not to speak of other places--when he is put there." "Daughter," said Rustico, "'twill not be always so." And for better assurance thereof they put him there six times before they quitted the bed;"

"Whereat they laughed exorbitantly (and still laugh) and said to her:--"Be not down-hearted, daughter; 'tis done here too; Neerbale will know well how to serve God with you in that way.""

That was so funny.

Another thing...when Socrates drinks down two quarts of wine on a quaff with no apparent affect, it causes one to wonder if, after all, he was not Irish... :-)
