There was silence for a moment.

“Yes.”

Then:

“Let us examine the role of Laura in Il Truccatore— ‘The Master of Disguise’, also sometimes vulgarly known as ‘The Man with a Thousand Faces’…”

When the witches arrived at Goatberger’s offices next morning they found a very large troll sitting on the stairs. It had a club across its knees and held up a shovel-sized hand to prevent them going any farther.

“No one’s allowed in,” it said. “Mr. Goatberger is in a meetin’.”

“How long is this meetin’ going to be?” said Granny.

“Mr. Goatberger is a very elongated meeter.”

Granny gave the troll an appraising stare. “You been in publishin’ long?” she said.

“Since dis mornin’,” said the troll proudly.

“Mr. Goatberger gave you the job?”

“Yup. Come up Quarry Lane and picked me special for…”—the troll’s brow creased as it tried to remember the unfamiliar words—“…the fast track inna fast-movin’ worlda publishin’.”

“And what exactly is your job?”

“’Ead ’itter.”

“’Scuse me,” said Nanny, pushing forward. “I’d know that strata anywhere. You’re from Copperhead in Lancre, ain’t you?”

“So what?”

“We’re from Lancre, too.”
