She comes of your father Adam‘s” .here Mr Beaver bowed. “your father Adam’s first wife， her they called Lilith. And she was one of the Jinn. That‘s what she comes from on one side. And on the other she comes of the giants. No， no， there isn’t a drop of real human blood in the Witch.”

“I‘ve known good Dwarfs，” said Mrs Beaver.
