I
had
sent
away
by
post
,
you
see
,
for
this
very
powerful
itching
-
powder
,
"
Hortensia
said
.
"
It
cost
50p
a
packet
and
was
called
The
Skin
-
Scorcher
.
The
label
said
it
was
made
from
the
powdered
teeth
of
deadly
snakes
,
and
it
was
guaranteed
to
raise
welts
the
size
of
walnuts
on
your
skin
.
So
I
sprinkled
this
stuff
inside
every
pair
of
knickers
in
the
drawer
and
then
folded
them
all
up
again
carefully
.
"
Hortensia
paused
to
cram
more
crisps
into
her
mouth
.
572
"
Did
it
work
?
"
Lavender
asked
.
573
"
Well
,
"
Hortensia
said
,
"
a
few
days
later
,
during
prayers
,
the
Trunchbull
suddenly
started
scratching
herself
like
mad
down
below
.
A
-
ha
,
I
said
to
myself
.
Here
we
go
.
She
s
changed
for
gym
already
.
It
was
pretty
wonderful
to
be
sitting
there
watching
it
all
and
knowing
that
I
was
the
only
person
in
the
whole
school
who
realised
exactly
what
was
going
on
inside
the
Trunchbull
s
pants
.
And
I
felt
safe
,
too
.
I
knew
I
couldn
t
be
caught
.
Then
the
scratching
got
worse
.
She
couldn
t
stop
.
She
must
have
thought
she
had
a
wasp
s
nest
down
there
.
And
then
,
right
in
the
middle
of
the
Lord
s
Prayer
,
she
leapt
up
and
grabbed
her
bottom
and
rushed
out
of
the
room
.

Both
Matilda
and
Lavender
were
enthralled
.
It
was
quite
clear
to
them
that
they
were
at
this
moment
standing
in
the
presence
of
a
master
.
575
Here
was
somebody
who
had
brought
the
art
of
skulduggery
to
the
highest
point
of
perfection
,
somebody
,
moreover
,
who
was
willing
to
risk
life
and
limb
in
pursuit
of
her
calling
.
They
gazed
in
wonder
at
this
goddess
,
and
suddenly
even
the
boil
on
her
nose
was
no
longer
a
blemish
but
a
badge
of
courage
.
576
"
But
how
did
she
catch
you
that
time
?
"
Lavender
asked
,
breathless
with
wonder
.
577
"
She
didn
t
,
"
Hortensia
said
.
"
But
I
got
a
day
in
The
Chokey
just
the
same
.

"
Why
?
"
they
both
asked
.
579
"
The
Trunchbull
"
,
Hortensia
said
,
"
has
a
nasty
habit
of
guessing
.
When
she
doesn
t
know
who
the
culprit
is
,
she
makes
a
guess
at
it
,
and
the
trouble
is
she
s
often
right
.
I
was
the
prime
suspect
this
time
because
of
the
Golden
Syrup
job
,
and
although
I
knew
she
didn
t
have
any
proof
,
nothing
I
said
made
any
difference
.
I
kept
shouting
,
How
could
I
have
done
it
,
Miss
Trunchbull
?
I
didn
t
even
know
you
kept
any
spare
knickers
at
school
!
I
don
t
even
know
what
itching
-
powder
is
!
I
ve
never
heard
of
it
!
But
the
lying
didn
t
help
me
in
spite
of
the
great
performance
I
put
on
.
The
Trunchbull
simply
grabbed
me
by
one
ear
and
rushed
me
to
The
Chokey
at
the
double
and
threw
me
inside
and
locked
the
door
.
That
was
my
second
all
-
day
stretch
.
It
was
absolute
torture
.
I
was
spiked
and
cut
all
over
when
I
came
out
.
"

"
It
s
like
a
war
,
"
Matilda
said
,
overawed
.
