Result, epidemics of ringworm, measles and mumps. Oh no! Not a result; the Lord's hand was heavy upon us because of some undiscovered sin. I might go on for a long while, but I will not.

My actions continually testify that I naturally possessed what is after all the most essential asset for a Magician, in singular perfection. It came natural to me to despise and reject utterly, without a second's hesitation or regret, anything soever that stood in the way of my purpose.
