"Esme didn't thrive on nice," said Nanny Ogg. "Take her an apple pie and she'll complain about the pastry."

"But people don't often thank her. And she does do a lot."

"She's not set up for thanks, neither. Ment'ly. To tell you the honest truth, there's always been a bit of the dark in the Weatherwaxes, and that's where the trouble is. Look at old Allison Weatherwax."

"Who was she?"

"Her own granny. Went to the bad, they say, just packed up one day and headed for Uberwald. And as for Esme's sister..." Nanny stopped, and restarted. "Anyway, that's why she's always standin' behind herself and criticizin' what she's doing. Sometimes I reckon she's terrified she'll go bad without noticin'."

"Granny? But she's a moral as--"

"Oh, yes, she is. But that's because she's got Granny Weatherwax glarin' over her shoulder the whole time."
