Pummeled awake around 3 by terrific stomach cramps. Thrashing about, I kicked over a lamp and the falling lamp knocked a painting off the wall. A startled cat leapt off the desk chair in the study and that too crashed over on its side. Feeling my way to the kitchen, my hand brushed the radio remote and on came ghastly British jazz. I trod upon one of the panicked cats. Screeching from the floor. .It was a scene out of the kind of movie I never go to.
