The poor superior, who was greatly confused by the unexpected effect of her last two answers, could not speak for a long time; but at length with great trouble she brought out the name Asmodee, without daring to latinise it. The bailiff upon this requested Barre to ask the chief devil how many evil spirits he had with him.
