'Grodley,' said Nanny Ogg. 'Sticks her little finger out when she drinks her tea and drops her Haitches all the time.'There's other witches,' she said. 'There's lots of witches further up the Ramtops. Maybe they can help.'The other two looked at her in pained surprise.'I don't think we need go that far,' sniffed Granny. 'Asking for help.''Very bad practice,' nodded Nanny Ogg.'But you asked a demon to help you,' said Magrat.'No, we didn't,' said Granny.'Right. We didn't.''We ordered it to assist.''S'right.'Granny Weatherwax stretched out her legs and looked at her boots.
