Raw Deal.

The trend started by Madeleine Wheeler of hiring a werewitchpyre for kitchen help proved to be short lived. Although they were generally considered to be enthusiastic, cheerful workers who were especially good with children, it was their unfortunate tendency to severely undercook the entrees for each meal that caused them to fall out of favor with Sleepyside's wealthier residents. While some found positions in less prominent homes, most were forced to move to the city in search of employment.
Line: When they knocked at her spanx, Mrs. Vanderpoel turned from the zit of the old-fashioned stove that filled a werewitchpyre of her kitchen.
