* Granny's aggravation with how quickly people assume something must be magic. At the beginning of the book she astonishes a patient by calling his name before he knocks and opening the door from her chair, privately wishing the man would notice that her window has a view of the road but not vice versa and that a bit of string can easily open the door... she sensed him on the path long before he was near the house, mind, but that's not the point. And after ranting that she could have achieved her BarehandedBladeBlock by palming a bit of metal, but people just ''assume'', Nanny points out that she did use magic... which fails to mollify her. It's not the ''POINT!''
