Bewitched (Bantam Series No. 16) - Plot & Excerpts
Albans.The Marquis had listened with flattering attention, being more punctilious in this particular than he would have been otherwise, because he knew that Charles Collington was restless.What occupied his friend’s mind were the plans they had made for the evening. The Marquis thought with a smile that no-one could have taken more trouble to ensure that their campaign to deceive Sir Algernon was mapped out down to the last detail.He also told himself that never had he spent a more amusing time than he had the last few days, when they had been teaching Saviya her part.She had been, as the Marquis expected, a quick-brained and tremendously receptive pupil.They only had to tell her something once: never did she forget or fail to carry out their instructions to perfection.What had pleased the Marquis was that, while Charles Collington had taken upon himself the role of producer, it was to himself that Saviya regularly looked not only for confirmation of what was said but for approval when she did what was asked of her.He found himself waiting for that half-shy and yet trusting little glance she gave him.It was as if she realised that he was a greater authority than Charles Collington and, what was more, she valued his opinion more than anyone else’s.Charles Collington could not praise her enough!“She is fantastic!”
