        Yes, you're right, although your scenario is longer than mine (also, indeed, nicer). It was just an idea as I said. Maybe an encounter. Think of it as a parable, or an allegoric picture. But I like its emotional impact, not diluted by investigations and the like.

        BTW, can you see many situations where medieval german farmers openly consort with demons and devils (see for example Microprose's computer game, Darklands)? Mind you, they could do it openly without anyone else noticing. It depends on how insular they were.

        Careful. Brian Tickler may flame you for your view of Bulls. :)
