That was the thing about witches. They were, according to Granny Weatherwax, "people what looks up." She didn't explain. She seldom explained. She didn't mean people who looked at the sky; everyone did that. She probably meant that they looked up above the everyday chores and wondered, "What's all this about? How does it work? What should I do? What am I for?" And possibly even: "Is there anything worn under the kilt?"

‘I wasn’t going to describe it quite like that,’ said Nanny Ogg. ‘Yes, I suspects you weren’t!’ said Granny. ‘I suspects you was going to use Language!’

"Blessings be upon this house," said Granny, but in a voice that suggested that if blessings needed to be taken away, she could do that, too.

"It was a witch. You could not mistake it. She -- it -- was probably a she, but some things are so horrible that worrying about how to address a letter to them is silly --"

People wanted the world to be a story, because stories had to sound right and they had to make sense. People wanted the world to make sense.

"Mam says would you ladies like some breakfast?"
"Oh, no, we couldn't possibly take what little you have--" Annagramma began.
"Yes, please, we will be grateful," said Tiffany, louder and quicker. The man nodded, and shut the door.
"Oh, how could you say that?" said Annagramma as his footsteps creaked down. "These are poor people! I thought you would--"
"Shut up, will you?" snapped Tiffany. "Just shut up and wake up! These are real people! They're not some kind of, of, of idea! We will go down there and we will eat breakfast and we'll say how good it is and then we will thank them and they will thank us and we will go! And that will mean everyone has done the right thing by custom, and that will be what's important to them. Besides, they don't think they're poor, because everyone around here is poor! But they're not so poor that they can't afford to do the right things! That would be poor!"
Annagramma was staring at her with her mouth open.
"Be careful what you say next," said Tiffany, breathing heavily. "In fact, don't say anything."

Find the story, Granny Weatherwax always said. She believed that the world was full of story shapes. If you let them, they controlled you. But if you studied them, if you found out about them ... you could use them, you could change them ...

"But do not become a strumpet like Mrs. Ogg," said Miss Treason.
"I'm not very musical," said Tiffany.
...
Tiffany had looked up "strumpet" in the Unexpurgated Dictionary, and found it meant "a woman who is no better than she should be" and "a lady of easy virtue." This, she decided after some working out, meant that Mrs. Gytha Ogg, known as Nanny, was a very respectable person. She found virtue easy, for one thing. And if she was no better than she should be, then she was just as good as she ought to be.
