Alfgif gets a lot of help from a winsome polecat named Meg, a pet who rides in his coat pocket and turns out to be the kind of "familiar" (a supernatural spirit-animal form) familiar to witchcraft. He learns that he has modest occult powers himself and eventually converses with one of "the Purpose's" top executives, a gentleman, polite enough but obviously not an Englishman. When this...
