The Miss Lonelyhearts of The New York Post-Dispatch (Are-you-in-trouble? -- Do-you-need-advice? -- Write-to-Miss-Lonelyhearts-and-she-will-help-you) sat at his desk and stared at a piece of white cardboard. On it a prayer had been printed by Shrike, the feature editor.
"Soul of Miss L, glorify me. Body of Miss L, nourish me Blood of Miss L, intoxicate me. Tears of Miss L, wash me. Oh good Miss L, excuse my plea, And hide me in your heart, And defend me from mine enemies. Help me, Miss L, help me, help me. In saecula saeculorum. Amen."
