->I can respect formidable magical talent when I meet it, and Old Madam Dorie, [[CrazyHomelessPeople the grey bag lady who smelt of curry powder and car fumes]], had it in spades. [[BlueCollarWarlock She exuded skilful manipulation of primal forces]] just like her bags gave off the smell of mould, and if she'd said hop, I would have hopped. She, like my gran, had the look of a woman who talked to the pigeons, and in the city, no-one sees more than the pigeons.

->Finally she came to a small house. An old woman was peering out from inside. She had very large teeth, which frightened the girl, and she wanted to run away. But the old woman called out to her, "Don't be afraid, dear child. Stay here with me, and if you do my housework in an orderly fashion, it will go well with you. Only you must take care to make my bed well and shake it diligently until the feathers fly, then it will snow in the world. I am Frau Holle."\\
Because the old woman spoke so kindly to her, the girl took heart, agreed, and started in her service. The girl took care of everything to Frau Holle's satisfaction and always shook her featherbed vigorously until the feathers flew about like snowflakes. Therefore she had a good life with her: no angry words, and boiled or roast meat every day.

->''It is commonly observed, among the Quality, that ladies of a certain age have a great soft spot for the army. Soldierly gallantry always passes well with those no longer able to provoke male attentions at a whim, and in any case, aging eyes settle happily on well-cut uniforms. But Lady Geraldine Dutroix was generally considered immune to this particular weakness of her sex, and Captain Alfred Jessop was not given to excesses of panache.\\
Nonetheless, on a certain evening in the July of 18__, in a reception at the French embassy in London, Lady Geraldine went to some trouble to attract the Captain’s attention and to speak with him quietly. That the Captain paid her some close attention might be ascribed to his eccentricity, which had been the talk of several messes in the past.''
