If you will allow an old man to regale you with a tale of his youth, I should like to inform you all that when I was a student here we had to FIT into our robes to be accepted. What has the education system come to, I ask! I thought I'd be professoring...professing? Not nannying!
Is it too late to call shenanigans? I'm calling shenanigans. I resign. I quit.

I'll be in my office if anyone over the wise age of eleven has anything of worth to mention.

How can you quit if stay in your office?

[savviest]

NOWHERE in my contract was I told that I had to LEAVE the building after quitting. I shall take my leave when I am good and ready.

I'll see you at dinner, shall I?

[thrownout]

How will you earn money if you don't have a job?

Where do we eat dinner?

[savviest]

I have my ways.

I've not been here in over twenty years. As I recall, it was a rather large hall. Hard to miss it once you've seen it. Have you not eaten since you arrived here? Is that what the lasses do these days?

[thrownout]

Like what?

I stumbled on a kitchen full of elves, they gave me some food.

[savviest]

If I told you, they would no longer be my ways.

And they didn't tell you to bugger off and wait for lunch like the rest of us? Times certainly have changed.

[thrownout]

They would be your ways if I didn't use them. I think you just want to keep it a secret for yourself.

No, I told them I'd never seen elves before and they were very nice.

[savviest]

You are absolutely correct, girl! Congratulations.

Never seen elves before? What sort of respectable young witch are you??
