12. I saw the larger mice when a preacher came to them. Then by their power of imagination they hold a psalter in their hands, and watch certain women from whom they learn what responses to make, so that they seem to make them of themselves. This is a trick, and they then pretend to be devout, when they are not devout at all. Thus they deceive the preachers. But they do this at the doors; inside the caverns they do not respond because they cannot there watch the women from whom they get the responses.
