7.45 He says I know what I'm saying, I'm quite normal.
7.50 Now I feel hungry.
666 says. "Every young magician should learn first thing to assume the God Form of Harpocrates. It is never wrong.
8.0. He says he would like to make Sidi B.A. very small—go over him and go on. He protests that he should not eat but he is becoming very hungry. (end of meal! ! !)
8.10. "I should have taken double of the stuff". The air etc. re eating etc. I'm quite normal. He is now talking in 3 parts German.
2000 years hence—Nothing of modern newspapers will have been preserved but those quoted for present practical purposes. The originals will have perished because printed on inferior paper. .'. People may talk of newspapers of the day as the "great lost masterpieces of antiquity".
