“
I
am
eighty
-
six
,
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
announced
.
“
How
old
are
you
,
my
dear
Mrs
.
Pendragon
?
“
Ninety
,
”
Sophie
said
,
that
being
the
first
high
number
that
came
into
her
head
.
“
So
old
?
”
Mrs

Pentstemmon
said
with
what
may
have
been
slight
,
stately
envy
.
“
How
lucky
you
are
to
move
so
nimbly
still
.
”
“
Oh
,
yes
,
she
’
s
so
wonderfully
nimble
,
”
Howl
agreed
,
“
that
sometimes
there
’
s
no
stopping
her
.
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
gave
him
a
look
which
told
Sophie
she
had
been
a
teacher
at
least
as
fierce
as
Miss
Angorian
.
“
I
am
talking
to
your
mother
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
daresay
she
is
as
proud
of
you
as
I
am
.
We
are
two
old
ladies
who
both
had
a
hand
in
forming
you
.
You
are
,
one
might
say
,
our
joint
creation
.
”
“
Don
’
t
you
think
I
did
any
of
me
myself
,
then
?
”
Howl
asked
.
“
Put
in
just
a
few
touches
of
my
own
?

“
A
few
,
and
those
not
altogether
to
my
liking
,
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
replied
.
“
But
you
will
not
wish
to
sit
here
and
hear
yourself
being
discussed
.
You
will
go
down
and
sit
on
the
terrace
,
taking
your
page
boy
with
you
,
where
Hunch
will
bring
you
both
a
cool
drink
.
Go
along
.
”
If
Sophie
had
not
been
so
nervous
herself
,
she
might
have
laughed
at
the
expression
on
Howl
’
s
face
.
He
had
obviously
not
expected
this
to
happen
at
all
.
But
he
got
up
,
with
only
a
light
shrug
,
made
a
slight
warning
face
at
Sophie
,
and
shooed
Michael
out
of
the
room
ahead
of
him
.
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
turned
her
rigid
body
very
slightly
to
watch
them
go
.
Then
she
nodded
at
the
page
boy
,
who
scuttled
out
of
the
room
too
.
After
that
,
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
turned
herself
back
toward
Sophie
,
and
Sophie
felt
more
nervous
than
ever
.
“
I
prefer
him
with
black
hair
,
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
announced
.
“
That
boy
is
going
to
the
bad
.
”
