To Mr. Berbiguier:

[Undated, est. March 18, 1818]

With abominable tidings of desolation of earthquake, flood, storm, wind, comet, planet, ocean, ebb, flow, genie, sylph, satyr, elf, dryad, and hamadryad.

The agent of the great spirit of good and evil, ally of Beelzebub and Hell, companion-in-arms to Astaroth, victorious herald, seducer of Eve, author of original sin, and minister of the zodiac, has the authority to possess, torment, sting, purge, cause peaceful nature to rise against, roast, poison, stab, and slander their very humble and very patient servant, Berbiguier, for having seduced Mansotte, coveted Vandeval, outranged nature, and cursed the most honorable and indissoluble magical society. 

In witness whereof, we have affixed the arms of the society. 

Done in the sun, opposite the moon, the Grand Officer Minister Plenipotentiary, on the 5818th day and the 5818th night, Grand Cross and Tribune of the magical society..

This power shall likewise have its effect on his friend, Coco. 

THÉSAUROCHRYSONICOCHRYSIDES 

By His Excellency, the secretary,

PINCHICHI PINCHl. [1]

[Berbiguier has a collection of sexual hang-ups, that’s probably an essay on its own. These letters from various goblins tend to play up on this, to make M.B. as uncomfortable as possible.]

[1] this is obviously an overblown nonsense word of magical power. It may translate into something like “triumphant golden treasure”? Or maybe “beloved golden voice” or something along those lines…-Thesauro meaning “storehouse of treasure,” “chrys” meaning gold, Sonico as sound or “nico” as “victory”. Tentatively, let’s say “Triumphant Golden Word”. “Pinchichi” implies pinching claws.
