They're not just horrible, they're extra-specially horrible. Mr. Twit has a beard that houses every bit of moldy food that nearly made it to his mouth. Mrs. Twit has a glass eye which she likes to pop in her husband's beer, saying, "I've got eyes everywhere so you'd better be careful."

The Muggle-Wump monkeys, stuck in a cage in the Twit's weedy, grubby garden, have been watching them play tricks on each other for years. Now Mr. Muggle-Wump has an idea for a trick of his own - and he's going to make monkeys out of the Twits!
