Pentstemmon
staring
at
her
like
that
.
“
I
assure
you
it
is
so
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
.
“
This
is
why
I
was
anxious
to
see
you
,
Mrs
.
Pendragon
.
Howell
,
you
see
,
was
my
last
pupil
and
by
far
my
best
.
I
was
about
to
retire
when
he
came
to
me
out
of
a
foreign
land
.
I
thought
my
work
was
done
when
I
trained
Benjamin
Sullivan
—
whom
you
probably
know
better
as
Wizard
Suliman
,
rest
his
soul
!
—
and
procured
him
the
post
of
Royal
Magician
.
Oddly
enough
,
he
came
from
the
same
country
as
Howell
.
Then
Howell
came
,
and
I
saw
at
a
glance
that
he
had
twice
the
imagination
and
twice
the
capabilities
,
and
,
though
I
admit
he
had
some
faults
of
character
,
I
knew
he
was
a
force
for
good
.
Good
,
Mrs
.
Pendragon
.
But
what
is
he
now
?
”
“
What
indeed
?
”
Sophie
said
.
“
Something
has
happened
to
him
,
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
said
,
still
staring
piercingly
at
Sophie
.
“
And
I
am
determined
to
put
that
right
before
I
die
.
”
“
What
do
you
think
has
happened
?
”
Sophie
asked
uncomfortably
.
“
I
must
rely
on
you
to
tell
me
that
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
.
“
My
feeling
is
that
he
has
gone
the
same
way
as
the
Witch
of
the
Waste
.
They
tell
me
she
was
not
wicked
once
—
though
I
have
this
only
on
hearsay
,
since
she
is
older
that
either
of
us
and
keeps
herself
young
by
her
arts
.
Howell
has
gifts
in
the
same
order
as
hers
.
It
seems
as
if
those
of
high
ability
cannot
resist
some
extra
,
dangerous
stroke
of
cleverness
,
which
results
in
a
fatal
flaw
and
begins
a
slow
decline
to
evil
.
Do
you
,
by
any
chance
,
have
a
clue
what
it
might
be
?
”
Calcifer
’
s
voice
came
into
Sophie
’
s
mind
,
saying
,
“
The
contract
isn
’
t
doing
either
of
us
any
good
in
the
long
run
.
”
She
felt
a
little
chilly
,
in
spite
of
the
heat
of
the
day
blowing
through
the
open
windows
of
the
shaded
,
elegant
room
.
“
Yes
,
”
she
said
.
“
He
’
s
made
some
sort
of
contract
with
his
fire
demon
.
”
Mrs
.
Pentstemmon
’
s
hands
shook
a
little
on
her
stick
.
“
That
will
be
it
.
You
must
break
that
contract
,
Mrs
.
Pendragon
.
”
“
I
would
if
I
knew
how
,
”
Sophie
said
.
