...beat drums and rattled gourds, joined in the shuffling and shimmying around the sacred poteau (post). As the dancing grew more boisterous, women screamed, thrashed, moaned, kicked, bounced bonelessly and collapsed -"possessed" by the loa (god) of the night. Though no loa "mounted" him, Doc Reser danced, drummed and drank happily till dawn...

...that there lived in the same town a rich man. He was compassionate and tireless (though tactful) in charitable works. Everybody loved him, and he loved everybody-even the unworthy poor man. He gave the beggar a cottage on the castle grounds, and said nothing when his guest swore, drank, tracked mud on the floor, spit on the rugs, ate like a hog and threw a glass of water in the butler's face. Everybody told the rich man that he was a fool to waste his time and money on such an ingrate-he was beyond help...
