interlude

Magic is ultimately at its best when it has actual effects. A faint glimmer of glitter an episode of Eastenders later doesn't do it. Nobody likes a syncopated tease that gets you going and then buggers off.

I fear these metaphors are a multi-car pileup during low-visibility weather. Horrifically violent, yet tragically riveting.

But then, my dearest Julia, what choice do I have? This is what happens when your editor puts a rocket under your rear and invites you to light the blue touchpaper. Phwoarrrrrrr. We have ignition. We have lift-off.

(We also have a decidedly sore derriere, but that’s another story. )

I trust you can handle the worst of the revisions. You have my thanks, dearest Julia, and may fortune keep you from the dress sense of L.S.E pseudo-academics.

Important note to all spellweavers; adjust vodka content to mental state.

interlude

‘Well, that’s hardly a matter of debate! Two heads are better than one, after all!’ declared an incensed Gasset. Beside him, Isidore heaved a weary sigh.

‘I... don't think that's what that's meant to mean,’ said Marigold a little uncertainly.

‘Oh really?’ Gassett scoffed, loud and more than a little pretentious. ‘Then what is it meant to mean? If you're oh-so clever.’

Marigold thought over this for a moment, realizing that even she wasn’t entirely certain. It was, in her experience, one of those things grown-ups often said to make themselves sound much more clever than they actually were. ‘Just that getting second opinions is valuable,’ she said, having made up her mind.

‘Well, there you go! I've always got a second opinion! All I have to do is look left!’

‘And if I need an idiot, I turn right,’ muttered Isidore.
