The
next
morning
she
got
up
early
and
went
into
the
bathroom
and
locked
the
door
.
As
we
already
know
,
Mrs
.
Wormwood
s
hair
was
dyed
a
brilliant
platinum
blonde
,
very
much
the
same
glistening
silvery
colour
as
a
female
tightrope
-
walker
s
tights
in
a
circus
.
The
big
dyeing
job
was
done
twice
a
year
at
the
hairdresser
s
,
but
every
month
or
so
in
between
,
Mrs
.
Wormwood
used
to
freshen
it
up
by
giving
it
a
rinse
in
the
washbasin
with
something
called
PLATINUM
BLONDE
HAIR
-
DYE
EXTRA
STRONG
.
This
also
served
to
dye
the
nasty
brown
hairs
that
kept
growing
from
the
roots
underneath
.
The
bottle
of
PLATINUM
BLONDE
HAIR
-
DYE
EXTRA
STRONG
was
kept
in
the
cupboard
in
the
bathroom
,
and
underneath
the
title
on
the
label
were
written
the
words
Caution
,
this
is
peroxide
.
Keep
away
from
children
.
Matilda
had
read
it
many
times
with
fascination
.
Matilda
s
father
had
a
fine
crop
of
black
hair
which
he
parted
in
the
middle
and
of
which
he
was
exceedingly
proud
.
"
Good
strong
hair
,
"
he
was
fond
of
saying
,
"
means
there
s
a
good
strong
brain
underneath
.
"
252
"
Like
Shakespeare
,
"
Matilda
had
once
said
to
him
.
253
"
Like
who
?

Was
he
brainy
?
"
256
"
Very
,
daddy
.
"

He
had

of
hair
,
did
he
?

He
was

To
which
the
father
had
snapped
,
"
If
you
can
t
talk
sense
then
shut
up
.

Anyway
,
Mr
.
Wormwood
kept
his
hair
looking
bright
and
strong
,
or
so
he
thought
,
by
rubbing
into
it
every
morning
large
quantities
of
a
lotion
called
OIL
OF
VIOLETS
HAIR
TONIC
.
A
bottle
of
this
smelly
purple
mixture
always
stood
on
the
shelf
above
the
sink
in
the
bathroom
alongside
all
the
toothbrushes
,
and
a
very
vigorous
scalp
massage
with
OIL
OF
VIOLETS
took
place
daily
after
shaving
was
completed
.
This
hair
and
scalp
massage
was
always
,
accompanied
by
loud
masculine
grunts
and
heavy
breathing
and
gasps
of
"
Ahhh
,
that
s
better
!
That
s
the
stuff
!
Rub
it
right
into
the
roots
!
"
which
could
be
clearly
heard
by
Matilda
in
her
bedroom
across
the
corridor
.
