Ah, yes. Norrell's smile flicks up again at that, pleased at the recognition.

"I had hoped I would be recognised one day. It is an honour to be offered a seat, of course -- and, as you say, the chance to make a difference. It is a chance to finally make another push against the fae threat, against Midnight and the scourge of dark magic."

Which, perhaps, are more Norrell's opinions than the opinions of witches as a whole. Yet they are important opinions!
