From Sybil Bruncheon's "MY MERRY MEMOIRS!"... every family should have one!

This is the accurately labeled Witch's Cottage on my family's estate in Greater & Lesser Marnier and the Triple Sec Islands. It was so-named because among European royalty (even in small principalities and duchies) it was customary to have an acknowledged and well-respected member of the occult world living nearby and supervising all metaphysical and alchemical matters for the family. Our resident witch was named Burtininko Kopūstų-nosis... "Burty" for short, and we loved her dearly. She was a cross between Edna May Oliver and Marie Dressler, and was an endless fount of wisdom, brilliance, scolding, and love... LOVE! She lived to be at least 112... and probably much older since she lied about her age for at least 60 years... I have never recovered from her passing, and she is the only thing my twin sister Dagmar ever wept over, and you all know how reliably heartless she is...
