my dear wormwood,
i note with grave displeasure that your patient has become a christian. do not indulge the hope that you will escape the usual penalties; indeed, in your better moments, i trust you would hardly even wish to do so. in the meantime we must make the best of the situation. there is no need to despair; hundreds of these adult converts have been reclaimed after a brief sojourn in the enemy's camp and are now with us. all the habits of the patient, both mental and bodily, are still in our favour
if..by steady and coolheaded application here and now you can finally secure his soul, he will then be yours forever - a brim-full living chalice of despair and horror and astonishment which you can raise to your lips as often as you please
the safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts
you young fiends
