For
,
as
Michael
had
prophesied
,
word
had
gone
round
Porthaven
.
People
came
to
the
door
to
look
at
Sophie
.
They
called
her
Mrs
.
Witch
in
Porthaven
and
Madam
Sorceress
in
Kingsbury
.
Though
the
people
who
came
to
the
Kingsbury
door
were
better
dressed
than
those
in
Porthaven
,
no
one
in
either
place
liked
to
call
on
someone
so
powerful
without
an
excuse
.
So
Sophie
was
always
having
to
pause
in
her
work
to
nod
and
smile
and
take
in
a
gift
,
or
to
get
Michael
to
put
up
a
quick
spell
for
someone
.
Some
of
the
gifts
were
nice
things
—
pictures
,
strings
of
shells
,
and
useful
aprons
.
Sophie
used
the
aprons
daily
and
hung
the
shells
and
pictures
round
her
cubbyhole
under
the
stairs
,
which
soon
began
to
look
very
homelike
indeed
.
Sophie
knew
she
would
miss
this
when
Howl
turned
her
out
.
She
became
more
and
more
afraid
that
he
would
.
She
knew
he
could
not
go
on
ignoring
her
forever
.
She
cleaned
the
bathroom
next
.
That
took
her
days
,
because
Howl
spent
so
long
in
it
every
day
before
he
went
out
.
As
soon
as
he
went
,
leaving
it
full
of
steam
and
scented
spells
,
Sophie
moved
in
.
“
Now
we
’
ll
see
about
that
contract
!
”
she
muttered
at
the
bath
,
but
her
main
target
was
of
course
the
shelf
of
packets
,
jars
,
and
tubes
.
She
took
every
one
of
them
down
,
on
the
pretext
of
scrubbing
the
shelf
,
and
spent
most
of
the
day
carefully
going
through
them
to
see
if
the
ones
labeled
SKIN
,
EYES
,
and
HAIR
were
in
fact
pieces
of
girl
.
As
far
as
she
could
tell
,
they
were
all
just
creams
and
powders
and
paint
.
If
they
had
once
been
girls
,
then
Sophie
thought
Howl
had
used
the
tube
FOR
DECAY
on
them
and
rotted
them
down
the
washbasin
too
thoroughly
to
recall
.
But
she
hoped
they
were
only
cosmetics
in
the
packets
.
She
put
the
things
back
on
the
shelf
and
scrubbed
.
That
night
,
as
she
sat
aching
in
the
chair
,
Calcifer
grumbled
that
he
had
drained
one
hot
spring
dry
for
her
.
“
Where
are
these
hot
springs
?
”
Sophie
asked
.
She
was
curious
about
everything
these
days
.
“
Under
the
Porthaven
Marshes
mostly
,
”
Calcifer
said
.
“
But
if
you
go
on
like
this
,
I
’
ll
have
to
fetch
water
from
the
Waste
.
When
are
you
going
to
stop
cleaning
and
find
out
how
to
break
my
contract
?
”
“
In
good
time
,
”
said
Sophie
.
“
How
can
I
get
the
terms
out
of
Howl
if
he
’
s
never
in
?
Is
he
always
away
this
much
?
”
“
Only
when
he
’
s
after
a
lady
,
”
Calcifer
said
.
