"The hag fit her reputation well. And yet, she instilled more fear than any tale ever has. She was a magnificent height – perhaps more than expected – but she was stooped slightly. But then, the very tall can afford to stoop. And she was hideous. Her face seemed too wide and large. It was all thick, rough folds of skin, sagging over her eyes and drooping off her jaw. Her nose was slumped over as though it had long tired of holding itself erect, hanging ominously over her tiny, cracking mouth. Her hair was grey and white, sticking out at all angles under her pointed hat. Her crinkled, bony hands were apparently paralyzed out before her, groping like she had been scratching out the eyes of naughty children for so long that they had gotten stuck. Her robes were mere lengths of brown fabric draped over her frame and sewed in place – they had no obvious form to them at all. The hemline was horrendously uneven. Her hat was far better kept; it was a tall, strictly pointed hat without wrinkle or fold. The brim dipped a little on either side of her enormous face, but that is common to ill-made hats and she could hardly be blamed for that."
Do me a favor – don't steal this, eh?
