The story

To a witch, clean children are repulsive; the dirtier the children, the less likely they are to smell them.

While playing outside, Luke is approached by a woman he identifies as a witch, trying to lure him to her with a snake and a chocolate bar, so he stands his ground and the witch leaves.

On Luke's ninth birthday, Helga contracts diabetes; her doctor advises them to take a holiday at a hotel by the English seaside.
