“
Surely
your
own
maternal
feelings
and
your
own
strong
magic
gift
will
tell
you
how
,
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
said
.
“
I
have
been
looking
at
you
,
Mrs
.
Pendragon
,
though
you
may
not
have
noticed
—
”
“
Oh
,
I
noticed
,
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
,
”
Sophie
said
.
“
—
and
I
like
your
gift
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
.
“
It
brings
life
to
things
,
such
as
that
stick
in
your
hand
,
which
you
have
evidently
talked
to
,
to
the
extent
that
it
has
become
what
the
layman
would
call
a
magic
wand
.
I
think
you
would
not
find
it
too
hard
to
break
that
contract
.
”
“
Yes
,
but
I
need
to
know
what
the
terms
of
it
are
,
”
Sophie
said
.
“
Did
Howl
tell
you
I
was
a
witch
,
because
if
he
did
—
”
“
He
did
not
.
There
is
no
need
to
be
coy
.
You
can
rely
on
my
experience
to
know
these
things
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
.
Then
,
to
Sophie
’
s
relief
,
she
shut
her
eyes
.
It
was
like
a
strong
light
being
turned
off
.
“
I
do
not
know
,
nor
do
I
wish
to
know
about
such
contracts
,
”
she
said
.
Her
cane
wobbled
again
,
as
if
she
might
be
shuddering
.
Her
mouth
quirked
into
a
line
,
suggesting
she
had
unexpectedly
bitten
on
a
peppercorn
.
“
But
I
now
see
,
”
she
said
,
“
what
has
happened
to
the
Witch
.
She
made
a
contract
with
a
fire
demon
and
,
over
the
years
,
that
demon
has
taken
control
of
her
.
Demons
do
not
understand
good
and
evil
.
But
they
can
be
bribed
into
a
contract
,
provided
the
human
offers
them
something
valuable
,
something
only
humans
have
.
This
prolongs
the
life
of
both
human
and
demon
,
and
the
human
gets
the
demon
’
s
magic
power
to
add
to
his
or
her
own
.
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
opened
her
eyes
again
.
“
That
is
all
I
can
bear
to
say
on
the
subject
,
”
she
said
,
“
except
to
advise
you
to
find
out
what
that
demon
got
.
Now
I
must
bid
you
farewell
.
I
have
to
rest
awhile
.
”
And
like
magic
,
which
it
probably
was
,
the
door
opened
and
the
page
boy
came
in
to
usher
Sophie
out
of
the
room
.
Sophie
was
extremely
glad
to
go
.
She
was
all
but
squirming
with
embarrassment
by
then
.
She
looked
back
at
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
’
s
rigid
,
upright
form
as
the
door
closed
and
wondered
if
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
would
have
made
her
feel
this
bad
if
she
had
really
and
truly
been
Howl
’
s
old
mother
.
Sophie
rather
thought
she
would
.
“
I
take
my
hat
off
to
Howl
for
standing
her
as
a
teacher
for
more
than
a
day
!
”
she
murmured
to
herself
.
“
Madam
?
”
asked
the
page
boy
,
thinking
Sophie
was
talking
to
him
.
“
I
said
go
slowly
down
the
stairs
or
I
can
’
t
keep
up
,
”
Sophie
told
him
.
Her
knees
were
wobbling
.
“
You
young
boys
dash
about
so
,
”
she
said
.
The
page
boy
took
her
slowly
and
considerately
down
the
shiny
stairs
.
Halfway
down
,
Sophie
recovered
enough
from
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
’
s
personality
to
think
of
some
of
the
things
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
had
actually
said
.
She
had
said
Sophie
was
a
witch
.
Oddly
enough
,
Sophie
accepted
this
without
any
trouble
at
all
.
That
explained
the
popularity
of
certain
hats
,
she
thought
