Perhaps we could riff a bit on the phrase "possessed her." We think first
of phyical possession as in the sexual sense but of course nobody ever
really possesses anyone in this sense. Dare we entertain another sense,
the sense of bewitchment (or in this case beWARLOCKment perhaps) as in
satanic possession? Some Pynchon Magic rearing up to meet us? 
There is something not EVERYDAY going on here.
