“
Because
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
’
s
dead
,
”
said
Michael
.
Howl
came
to
the
door
too
.
He
looked
pale
and
depressed
.
He
was
holding
a
scroll
with
red
-
and
-
blue
royal
seals
dangling
off
it
,
which
Sophie
eyed
guiltily
.
Howl
gave
the
sergeant
a
gold
piece
and
did
not
say
a
word
until
the
coach
and
the
Troopers
had
gone
clattering
away
.
Then
he
said
,
“
I
make
that
four
horses
and
ten
men
just
to
get
rid
of
one
old
woman
.
What
did
you
do
to
the
King
?

Sophie
followed
Howl
and
Michael
indoors
,
expecting
to
find
the
room
covered
with
green
slime
.
But
it
was
not
,
and
there
was
Calcifer
flaring
up
the
chimney
,
grinning
his
purple
grin
.
Sophie
sank
into
the
chair
.
“
I
think
the
king
got
sick
of
me
turning
up
and
blackening
your
name
.
I
went
twice
,
”
she
said
.
“
Everything
went
wrong
.
And
I
met
the
Witch
on
her
way
from
killing
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
.
What
a
day
!
”
While
Sophie
described
some
of
what
had
happened
,
Howl
leaned
on
the
mantelpiece
,
dangling
the
scroll
as
if
he
was
thinking
of
feeding
it
to
Calcifer
.
“
Behold
the
new
Royal
Wizard
,
”
he
said
.
“
My
name
is
very
black
.
”
Then
he
began
to
laugh
,
much
to
the
surprise
of
Sophie
and
Michael
.
“
And
what
did
she
do
to
the
Count
of
Catterack
?
”
he
laughed
.
“
I
should
never
have
let
her
near
the
King
!
”
“
I
did
blacken
your
name
!
”
Sophie
protested
.
“
I
know
.
It
was
my
miscalculation
,
”
Howl
said
.
“
Now
,
how
am
I
going
to
go
to
poor
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
’
s
funeral
without
the
Witch
knowing
?
Any
ideas
,
Calcifer
?
”

It
was
clear
that
Howl
was
far
more
upset
about
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
than
anything
else
.
Michael
was
the
one
who
worried
about
the
Witch
.
He
confessed
next
morning
that
he
had
had
nightmares
all
night
.
He
had
dreamed
she
came
through
all
the
castle
entrances
at
once
.
“
Where
’
s
Howl
?
”
he
asked
anxiously
.
Howl
had
gone
out
very
early
,
leaving
the
bathroom
full
of
the
usual
scented
steam
.
He
had
not
taken
his
guitar
,
and
the
doorknob
was
turned
to
green
-
down
.
Even
Calcifer
knew
no
more
than
that
.
“
Don
’
t
open
the
door
to
anyone
,
’
Calcifer
said
.
