‘The world’s little children magic hath stolen away,’ said Wimsey.
‘Something like that,’ Bolton said, with a queer glance. ‘And yet – My father was a railway engineer in Wolverhampton, and his father was a millworker. But I went to Hogwarts with boys who’d been down for Eton and now I’m head of my section at the Ministry and give orders to people whose family came over with the Conqueror. Not,’ he added fairly, ‘that everything in the garden’s lovely.
