Are you being facetious? The first book also mention's Nicolas's Flamel's wife, Pernelle.

My American friends once got chatted up by some Geordies here - the look of confusion on their faces when the lads asked "Ah yus alrite?" was pretty priceless.

Settle down, Self Righteous McJudgy Pants. There's a whole lot of info you don't know here. Why didn't Alice call someone? Maybe she doesn't have a voice that works.
