'Out of my way! I'm in a hurry. Rudy, Jacob and Monkey and Mark are waiting for me.'
An ageless woman in a colourful cloak shoved them aside and opened the padlock to the door to the barrel with a big iron key.
'Are you Dora of Wye?' asked Bromford, the bard, quickly.
'I am indeed. But I don't have time for trespassers, beggars or petioneers of any kind. And I most certainly don't have time for you to describe me and my conditions of living in all minuteness of details. Don't you see, the longest night of the year is coming? Winter is coming. And this time me and my coven, we will finally find a way to find it - the colour of time - la couleur du temps.'
From the outside and through the open door of the barrel they could see her gathering some stuff into a big leather bag, slinging it over her shoulders and chest and locking the barrel again behind her.
'But Colin from the Firth sent us here', said the llama. 'He said you were a mighty and magnificent witch and sorceress and you could help us.'
'Colin who?' asked Dora of Wye. 'Although he is perfectly right, I am indeed a mighty and magnificent witch and sorceress.'

"Bromford Died Screaming"
Rudy's on the midway and Jacob's in the hole
The monkey's on the ladder, the devil shovels coal
With crows as big as airplanes, the lion has three heads
And someone will eat the skin that he sheds
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you
Well, hell doesn't want you and heaven is full
Bring me some water, put it in this skull
I walk between the raindrops, I wait in bug house square
And the army ants, they leave nothin' but the bones
And the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you
There was thunder, there was lightning
Then the stars went out and the moon fell from the sky
It rained mackerel, it rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
The poker's in the fire and the locusts take the sky
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the Bromford died screaming
While I lay dreaming
I lay dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
I'm dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
I'm dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
I'm dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
