A witch, you must understand, does not knock children on the head or stick knives into them or shoot at them with a pistol. Then the witch stalks the wretched child like a hunter stalking a little bird in the forest. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear. Anything less than that and she becomes grumpy. "Which child," she says to herself all day long, "exactly which child shall I choose for my next squelching?" A REAL WITCH gets the same pleasure from squelching a child as you get from eating a plateful of strawberries and thick cream. Even if she is working as a cashier in a supermarket or typing letters for a businessman or driving round in a fancy car (and she could be doing any of these things), her mind will always be plotting and scheming and churning and burning and whizzing and phizzing with murderous bloodthirsty thoughts.
It is all she thinks about the whole day long. Her passion is to do away with them, one by one. A REAL WITCH spends all her time plotting to get rid of the children in her particular territory. A REAL WITCH hates children with a red-hot sizzling hatred that is more sizzling and red-hot than any hatred you could possibly imagine. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS.
REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. The most important thing you should know about REAL WITCHES is this.
