Tick had been found attached to 

 the anus of a female servant. An 

 acquaintance reported that "a large 

 live insect had worked its way out 

 of her body through the skin - she 

 sent me word last night (5. VI. 1908) - 

 she noticed a lump getting larger and 

 larger for 3 or 4 days, and this was 

 the climax".
