Puck bethought that the word "powerful" should not be used twice in a sentence. He did not like repetition.
The Gryphon spoke emphatically, shaking his head and repeated out loud very knowingly, "they are powerful".
Puck was undecided of this - so far the thoughts of men had not seemed to amount to much: a concordance of vanity, bloodlust and piff.
The presence of the Gryphon had rubbed off on him and he quickly corrected himself by committing his own harshness to an inner apology.
