Maître Hamdia ...
I climbed the steep and dangerous path to Cabaret, the largest of the four ruins of Lastours. I picked up a scrap of paper that was caught in a desiccated bush. What did it tell me? Was I meant to find it?

Maître Hamdia offers 'knowledge of secrets and clairvoyance'.
He will 'resolve all your problems, even despair'. He will bring you 'lasting love, relief from malign spells, luck in games of chance, the return of a loved one, protection, attraction, success in exams and competitions for employment'.
His results are 'guaranteed 100% in all areas within fifteen days'. His work is 'reliable and swift'. Payment is due only on 'results'. Works also by correspondence.
And, in a little PS - 'don't throw this paper away as litter ...'
Are you tempted? Was it a message from ... oh, I don't know ...
Good grief, this is just silly ... isn't it?
The Labyrinth can be a place of deception.
