Pesach with Prigentia

It is of course much ado about nothing. As the young Kimrock celebrates the Passover meal with his family, at the point when the front door is thrown open to welcome  the prophet Elijah, who should be waiting there but Prigentia Colswain, faint and a little dizzy, but otherwise unharmed.  They bring her in, and ply her with charoseth (the ceremonial mortar blended from dates, nuts, apples, cinnamon and wine). She adopts her most ever-suffering pose (which she has taken great care to copy from old images of Sarah Bernhardt) and asks for a moment of silence while she regains her strength. Once she has gained the full attention of all, she embarks on a lusty rendition of Chad Gadya.
