To pay for the repairs they must tighten their belts still further. Meanwhile, Belladonna has made a Witch Pox potion and infects first Dyllis, then Horrocks, and finally Miss Widget with the fatal disease. Even Miss Hardbroom can't cure the victims without the right ingredients, until Cressie and Hettie save the day again.
