So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. “What! No soap?” So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber; and there were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the Garyulies, and the grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top, and they all fell to playing the game of catch as catch can till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.

I have found that the easiest way to self induce ensorcellment is on dry fall eves with equally dry red wine.
But that is only me.
why sorkin uses ensorcelled? it is Maureen Dowd's fave word and she uses it in her NYT oped columns over 50 times over the years. google her name and that word, you will see. She and Sorkin are good friends. He uses the term in this show and NEWSROOM as a injoke shout out to MoDo. re
How Sad a Passage

Ensorcell
What a word, Ensorcell. From a West Wing rerun tonight:
JOSH Hey, this is not that. She's got... I really... I'm... bewitched. I'm ensorcelled. There's got to be some way we're screwing them over.
Nicely done, Sorkin. I want to be ensorcelled, too.
