"Baik Matilda dan Lavender terpesona. Sangat jelas bagi mereka bahwa mereka pada saat ini berdiri di hadapan seorang tuan. Di sini ada seseorang yang telah membawa seni penyelewengan ke titik tertinggi kesempurnaan, seseorang, apalagi, yang bersedia mengambil risiko hidup dan anggota tubuh dalam mengejar panggilannya. Mereka menatap heran pada dewi ini, dan tiba-tiba bahkan bisul di hidungnya tidak lagi cacat, tetapi lencana keberanian."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Both Matilda and Lavender were enthralled. It was quite clear to them that they were at this moment standing in the presence of a master. Here was somebody who had brought the art of skulduggery to the highest point of perfection, somebody, moreover, who was willing to risk life and limb in pursuit of her calling. They gazed in wonder at this goddess, and suddenly even the boil on her nose was no longer a blemish but a badge of courage.
