Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 12 July 1907
Mostly in bed; a little fever.
Wrote "The Mask of Gilt" [from Konx Om Pax].
[On the page opposite the entry for Friday:]
A Memorable Fancy
The patriarch Job dined with me, being hungry; he had not appreciated the petit déjeuner chez Ezechiel! After dinner we played Patience Exacté. I won the first hand, holding my wife and her relations—a vole. He won the second with his wife—Bildad Eliphany and—. In the third, I held the same cards as before, and turned up Lord Tankerville. "I mark the King," says I. "The devil take the cards!" says Job, and went off in a rage.
