Seneca had to stop and think for a moment to remember who Josephina Flint's granddaughter was. Or, to be more precise, which one Gretchen was referring to.
"Ursula Black?" Seneca asked. She huffed out of her nostrils in a snobbish matter. "Oh yes, she is fashionable, had seven children and got sick. What notable accomplishments! Even her sisters-in-law are more impressive than her, and one married a muggle!"
What was wrong with Iola Whats-her-face-now? Seneca could understand eloping with a half-blood, even a mudblood, but a muggle? For Seneca, muggles were like cripples. They missed a certain important quality that made them... useful. Seneca suspected that Iola had married a muggle because she suffered from a saint complex. She wanted to feel good about herself, for marrying someone who was so much beneath her.
