All sorts of wonderful things happen. A cannon takes the place occupied by the table, and belches forth flame and smoke. A large cage appears mysteriously in the center of the room, through the bars of which the Devil passes as if it were an open door.

Everything is so weird and fantastic, that such a small trifle as a man turning into a donkey excites but passing notice."
