Mrs. Pratchett

1 Her name was Mrs Pratchett. She was a small, skinny old

hag with moustache on her upper lip and a mouth as sour as a

green goosebery. She never smiled.

Her apron was gray and greasy. Her blouse had bits of

5 breakfast all over it, toast crumbs and tea stains and splotches

of dried egg yollk. It was her hands, however, that disturbed

us most.They were disgusting. They were black with dirt and

grime.

And do not forget that it was these hands and fingers that

10 she would plunge into the sweet-jars when we asked for a

pennyworth of TreackleToffe or Wine Gums or Nut Clusters,

or whatever. There were precious few health laws in those

days, and nobody, least of all Mrs. Pratchett , ever thought of

using a little shovel for getting sweets out as they do today.
