Always love Miss Silver. I mete them out because there are a finite number. As an aside, I've had a cold while reading this one, and I cannot stop coughing. Made me notice how often Miss Silver coughs in this book, to gain the attention of whoever's speaking. (And sadly, as I also love the Harry Potter series, it made me think of Professor Umbridge. No one wants to think of Umbridge.)
