The Grand High Witch stood on the very centre of the platform, and those dangerous eyes of hers travelled slowly around the audience of witches who were sitting so meekly before her. 'All those over seventy put up your hands!' she barked suddenly.

Seven or eight hands went up in the air.

'It comes to me,' said The Grand High Witch, 'that you ancient vuns vill not be able to climb high trrrees in search of grrruntles' eggs.'

'We won't, Your Grandness! We are afraid we won't!' chanted the ancient ones.

'Nor vill you be able to catch the crrrabcrrruncher, who lives high up on rrrocky cliffs,' The Grand High Witch went on. 'I can't exactly see you sprrrinting after the speedy catsprrringer either, or diving into deep vorters to spear the blabbersnitch, or striding the bleak moors vith a gun under your arm to shoot the grrrobblesqvirt. You are too old and feeble for those things.'

'We are,' chanted the ancient ones. 'We are! We are!'

'You ancient vuns have served me vell over many years,' said The Grand High Witch, 'and I do not vish to deny you the pleasure of bumping off a few thousand children each just because you have become old and feeble. I have therefore prepared personally vith my own hands a limited qvantity of Delayed Action Mouse-Maker vhich I vill distrrribute to the ancient vuns before you leave the hotel.'
