"As ugly as they come!" laughed Jez. "Our garden's plagued with them. Mother and Father absolutely loathe them. I have to de-gnome the garden once or twice a week at home. Had to," she corrected herself, feeling a rush of delight when she remembered she wasn't at home with her awful family anymore. Thank Merlin's starry cloak. "Did you have porcelain garden gnomes?" she asked curiously.
