“Was the whole place in yesterday?”
“Every man, woman, and child for miles. Crona Nagle, d’you remember her? She’s ninety-two years of age, hasn’t left the house since God was a child, but she got the grandson to drive her down yesterday. And she’d a feckin’ hypothesis of her own, o’course.”
Tana French, The Hunter, p. 339
Out of Babel Books 
Can’t say I’m a big fan of “crone”, too much negative connotation for me…

Saying “crone” instead of “grandma” is part of my ongoing effort to make real life sound more like a fantasy novel.
