This was going to happen: Tiffany grew up. She is no longer a student, but an adult witch, and the inheritance for which she is responsible is not much, not a little all Chalk Hills. Let the inhabitants of her land distrust witches. Let the young man (whom Tiffany never considered her young man!) Marry another. Let her tiny friends, Nak-McFeagley, throw a bunch of problems to the girl... She can handle it.
