Mr and Mrs Bucket and little Charlie Bucket slept in the other room, upon mattresses on the floor.

‘And no good can ever come from spoiling a child like that, Charlie, you mark my words.’

REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS.

That is why they are so hard to catch.

A witch is always a woman.

I do not wish to speak badly about women. Most women are lovely. But the fact remains that all witches are women.

Oh, if only there were a way of telling for sure whether a woman was a witch or not, then we could round them all up and put them in the meat-grinder.

Oh heavens, I thought. Oh help! Oh Lord have mercy on me!
