Going to church in this work is similar to an alien rite in the House of Rimmon, and it ends with the main character making himself another piece of toast even though he only tells whom he dubbed "The Woman" he only likes toast sometimes.
Going to church in this work is similar to an alien rite in the House of Rimmon, and it ends with the main character making himself another piece of toast even though he only tells whom he dubbed "The Woman" he only likes toast sometimes. Its main character asks the title figure to repeatedly "Do one thing for me," and he is described as someone whom a doctor determines is not going to live for more than five more years past the age of fifteen. He describes the title figure as someone whose (*) "enemies called for peace, but he brought them death." The titular god is given powdered nutmeg, red flowers and scarlet berries, and is in a woodshed along with an Anabaptist hen owned by Mrs. de Ropp, the protagonist's cousin. For 10 points, name this short story about the child Conradin that worships a ferret god, a bizarre story by Saki. [Ike]
