Her daughter has three children, and a grandam as well.

Grandam had never known of such a thing to happen in all her life.

"It is almost as if they are afraid of me," she told Grandam.

"But surely she will want to stay home and rest for a time, too," Grandam said.

"Perhaps we'd better leave them to catch up with us," Grandam said.

"I heard Grandam say you were coming today," she said, slipping outside.

Grandam poked her head out of the tent, ready to call.

How to explain the fierce independence of people like Grandam and my mother?

"I will tell you a state secret, child," Grandam said.

Grandam says friends come together to teach each other.

"You never told me grandam gave that to you when I was born, mother."

I must attend the council meeting, child," Grandam told her.

As Grandam spoke those words, many people stopped dancing.

Grandam used to grill me on aspects of the oral tales in much this way.

I used to think that Grandam was old.

And don't you realize that someone has been quietly poisoning Grandam for months?

It was easy to talk to Grandam though.

Shaking the threads from its folds the old grandame held it out to Ruggedo.

"His royal grandame is two-and-sixty years of age and in robustious good health.

He measured them all, to the last, most inimical grandame, until not a clan chief among them could mistake the stamp of his presence.

"Did he try, he would die here," a hook-nosed grandame in a snowy battle braid cracked through the gathering dusk.

Seen up close, the wharfside of Innish wore her decor like a tawdry, overdressed grandame fallen from wealth on hard times.

Not the feeblest grandame, not a mowing idiot, but uses what spark of perception and faculty is left, to chuckle and triumph in his or her opinion over the absurdities of all the rest.

At the mention of eggs, Ruggedo turned quite pale under his wrinkled gray skin and, as Peter looked at the two in perplexity, Scrapper returned bringing an old Quilty grandame with him.
