    The Witch is creepy, but she’s not stupid.

    Would that all our kind spoke much — and frequently — of these things.

    Nothing like a ruminating, introspective, scared Witchie-woman with a dangling eyeball….

    Witch is a psychopath. She would do well on Wall Street with the other takers.

    The constant questioning of Margo’s true motivations by the takers is an interesting philosophical theme throughout this story. Kory, have you read “What is Man?” by Mark Twain?

    The most interesting villains are usually very smart.

    This is the time Margo needs to be maintaining a safe distance from Baba Yaga.

    Sounds like Baba Yaga has had a thought she had never really considered before. Still, Margo does need to remain vigilant.

    … another kudo, Kory. I SO love the text that so (very descriptively) let’s us all know who’s speaking.

    Baba Yaga puzzled and puzzed til her puzzler was sore…
