Is there someone out there who can find me the bit where Granny says she
can't take on another village because "the broomstick hardly has time to
cool down" as it is?
I'm writing about the witches on a project, and I can write around it or go
to my ex's house and spend an hour trying to find the darn thing.
Many thanks ahead of time

Okay, I have written a version, but I'd still like to know the exact passage
so I can put "quotes" around it if I need to.
***
In principle, every village worthy of the name has a resident witch, but in
the Century of the Fruitbat, it seems that fewer girls are called to the
craft; many witches are kept very busy, aiding the people of several
villages, so that the broomstick hardly has time to cool off between
housecalls.
***
LEaving out that Granny is the speaker is intentional.

Witches Abroad p20,21 in the Corgi paperback
'Can't do that,' said Granny Weatherwax promptly. 'I'm doing four villages
already. The broomstick hardly has time to cool down.'
ps: You owe me a slightly burnt chilli con carne.
