In the meantime my husbands health

not improve.
While my husband was lying ill, Crow
ley decided that his head must be shaved.
The Beast himself acted as barber, and
shaved my poor husbands head of every
hair, also inficting a horrible cut on his
head. His arms, too, were full of cuts,
for every time one uses the word ''I'' in
