She tells the boy that she knows of five children who were cursed by witches and tells him how to recognise them.

They have bald heads that they hide with wigs, clawed hands that they usually hide with gloves, blue spit, large nostrils, toe-less feet that make it extremely painful to wear pretty shoes and masked human faces to cover their hideous face. As specified in the parents' will, the boy and his grandmother have to return to England, where he was born and was in school, and where the house he is inheriting is located. The grandmother warns the boy to be on his guard, however, since English witches are known to be among the cruelest in the world.
