Dear Diary,
Today I was presented with a rough hessian garment and told to dress in it. Shortly after I was called and led to an audience with the Abbess where I was required to lay upon a table and prayers were said over me. I was sprinkled with holy water and then incantations were sung. There had been little for breakfast and when my stomach rumbled it was taken to be some sign of progress. Further prayers and incantations ensued and I began to tire of the whole thing for the table was most uncomfortable. I began to wriggle and writhe in discomfort before finally I began to yawn. During one particular yawn, to my embarrassment in such holy company, I belched slightly.
"The demon is gone, praise the Lord!" Said the Abbess and I was finally allowed back to my cell.
I expelled three more demons after dinner this evening and a few moments ago I fear I released a dragon or something quite sizable but propriety prevents me from commenting upon it's exact exit point.
