„Oh, gestatten, dass ich mich vorstelle: Donny. Kommt von gälisch ‚donn’, used to be so viel bedeutet wie braun. Braun wie vollmilchschokoladenbraun oder noch besser zartbitterschokoladenbraun. Ich bin ein Brownie. Und das da“, das braune Männchen zeigt mit dem Daumen in Richtung der Hexe, „das ist nur Cally. Sie ist eine Cailleach, eine hexenartige Riesin. Und nun: Gum biodh ràth le do thurus – Möge deine Suche erfolgreich sein!“
