Description
"An apothecary's assistant, seeing behind him a lawyer who was always at war with him, and on whom he wished to take revenge, dropped a frozen turd wrapped in paper from his sleeve, pretending it was a loaf of sugar, which the lawyer picked up from the ground and hid in his bosom; then went with a companion to have lunch in a tavern, from which he emerged only with the expense and shame he had intended to inflict on the poor assistant."
