Time Quintet: Book 1A Wrinkle in Time
by Madeleine L'Engle
Mrs Which is the oldest of the Mrs Whatsit's friends, and the most authoritative, although she interacts less with the children than do Mrs Whatsit and Mrs Who. Introduced at the end of Chapter Three, she is normally seen as little more than a shimmer of light or a shadow. Mrs Which seldom fully materializes, but in human form she resembles a stereotyped witch in black robe and peaked hat, probably a pun of "which" and "witch". She finds it hard to think as a corporeal being. In Chapter Five, she accidentally takes Charles, Meg, and Calvin to a two-dimensional world. Her speech is written with doubled letters, and described as "authoritative"; she admits that "thee llanguage of worrds" is difficult for her. Nevertheless, Meg quickly decides that she is "someone in whom one could put complete trust."
