The Ice King (A Witch Ways Whisper)
“Mrs Langdon was an unpleasant woman, revelling in other people’s troubles and keen to pass judgement wherever possible. Most people in Woodcastle disliked her but her small corner shop was useful if you ran out of bread, needed emergency beans or a pint of milk. It was a horrid shop, carrying an air of rancid fat and smelling of hay. Hettie Way always felt you needed a ration book to shop there. “So much for all her science then eh? Never did any biology did she not? Loves her Arctic Roll eh?” ...Mrs Langdon gave her grim smirk. She was an odd mix, a woman who was round in the middle, a heavy bust and heavier waist and hips, but she managed to be skinny at the edges, her arms sinewy and thin and her legs bony.
“You never had children did you Mrs Langdon?” it was the cruellest thing that Hettie Way had ever said in her life. Anyone who knew Mrs Langdon knew that her husband had left her for a woman who later bore him five children. For a second she held Mrs Langdon’s gaze, felt the way that her comment sliced into that flabby belly and let Mrs Langdon’s emotional innards slop out.MoreLess
