Any witch worth her weight in charms should be able to perform a spell without the use of words, and you, despite your size, have no charm.

Chapter 3 introduces Beth Winter and her smoking, drinking, gambling, magical pursuits. In this chapter and Chapter 4, Beth faces two adversaries who can only be defeated with charm, and as the quote suggests, it proves a challenge.

Her first adversary is Patrick Jacobs, a man with so much power and knowledge, he only shows Beth a tiny portion when they meet. I imagine Patrick as an older, debonair gentleman, much like John Slattery.

Then Beth is brought to a meeting with Deirdre Hansard, a woman with a different style of power. She has great influence over society and public perception. Deirdre is younger than Patrick and has an energetic elegance about her. Jasika Nicole is who I picture when I write Deirdre.
