It is a Castle,’ my grandmother said. 2.‘And the fascinating thing is that in that Castle will be all the names and addresses of all the witchess in the world! 3.How else could a Grand High Witch run her business? 4.How else could she summon the witches of the various countries to their Annual Meetings?’ 5.Where is the Castle, Grandmamma?’ I cried impatiently. ‘Which country? Tell me quick!’ C 1.Guess,’ she said.‘Norway!’ I cried.Right first time!’ she answered. 2.‘High up in the mountains above a small village.’ 3.This was thrilling news. I did a little dance of excitement on the table-top. 4.My grandmother was getting pretty worked up herself and now she heaved herself out of her chair and began pacing up and down the room, thumping the carpet with her stick. 5.‘So we have work to do, you and I!’ she cried out. D 1.‘We have a great task ahead of us! Thank heavens you are a mouse! 2.A mouse can go anywhere! All I'll have to do is put you down somewhere near The Grand High Witch's Castle and you will very easily be able to get inside it and creep around looking and listening to your heart's content!’ 3.‘I will! I will!’ I answered. ‘No one will ever see me! 4.Moving about in a big Castle will be child's play compared with going into a crowded kitchen full of cooks and waiters!’ 5.‘You could spend days in there if necessary!’ my grandmother cried.
