In Their Own Words
"Come in, come in, dearies. I'll be with you as soon as ever I finish this brew."
"The money pours in like sorrows to a widow, and I'll be retiring within the year to live out my days like a proper queen."
"Now, dearies, what'll you be wanting? Philtres? Poison?--I've a special today, only five shillings a vial. A spell? What about your fortunes?--one shilling if seen in the crystal ball, one and six if read from the palm. A hex?--I've the finest in six counties. A ticket to the Walpurgis Night Ball?"
