“The Book of Secrets records that if the foot of a mole is wrapped in a laurel leaf and this is put into the mouth of a horse, the horse will flee in fear.” – Peter Dendle [1]
I don’t imagine there’s much this *wouldn’t* work on. I would flee too if somebody shoved a bloody, furry lump of mole-stuffed laurel leaf into my mouth.
