\n} Witches, naturally, have a language all their own. \u201cMeeting in
\n} thunder\u201d means \u201cBanding together to do some serious cursing.\u201d
\n} \u201cMeeting in lightning\u201d means \u201cJust popping in for a quick cuppa\u201d and
\n} \u201cMeeting in rain\u201d means a trip to the pub for a few dozen pints. By
\n} the way, \u201ceye of newt\u201d is code for \u201cpickled onion\u201d and \u201cwing of bat\u201d
\n} is \u201ccuttings from an old saddle.\u201d

\n} The full translation of the dialog of the witches of the Scottish Play
\n} reveals they are plotting to place a basket of goat giblets on the
\n} throne and quintuple the tax on polydactylity. From this we may infer
\n} that Shakespere was a little foggy on witchspeak, but we may forgive
\n} him for this.
