"My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had. I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance and Richard Plantegent, and Amanita Phalloides, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead."

"Oh no," said Merricat, "you'll poison me!"
"Merricat," said Connie, "would you like to go to sleep?
Down in the boneyard, ten feet deep!"
