| That Magnificent Deer Has Vanished in the Bush... |
| | In the morning Satrapold calls Blether, the head groom of the castle's
stables, and tells him to saddle up a new horse. The same day the two
of them are going to go to Spiritus' inn., the occultist' nest; they
do so in disguise so that nobody will recognize them. (This is a new
technique of espionage.) Satrapold is shocked by Calamaria's presence
in the public house, where she serves spirits. With the wave of a
magic wand the Captain's consciousness vanishes and his body and soul
are flooded with an emotion completely opposed to the desire to
obliterate spiritism in the Krkonose slopes.
