"Ada lendir hijau yang mengerikan, dramatis, dan keras — jumlah besar sekali. Ini menutupi Howl sepenuhnya. Itu menutupi kepala dan pundaknya dengan boneka lengket, menumpukkan lutut dan tangannya, menetes jatuh di kakinya, dan meneteskan bangku di helai-helai lengket. Itu ada di kolam yang mengalir dan kolam yang merayap di sebagian besar lantai. Jari-jari panjang itu merayap ke perapian. Baunya busuk."

--- Diana Wynne Jones

Versi Bahasa Inggris

There were horrendous, dramatic, violent quantities of green slime—oodles of it. It covered Howl completely. It draped his head and shoulders in sticky dollops, heaping on his knees and hands, trickling in glops down his legs, and dripping off the stool in sticky strands. It was in oozing ponds and crawling pools over most of the floor. Long fingers of it had crept into the hearth. It smelled vile.
