Magnificent Devices [5] A Lady Of Resources - Plot & Excerpts
The words were like a death knell in Lizzie’s mind—the sound you heard just before your professor of physics announced your failure of his class. She sat, disconsolate, at the workbench in the lycee’s physics laboratory, supposedly working on her project, but in reality merely pushing gears and springs around on the polished surface like an oracle searching for meaning in mechanical entrails. She didn’t even have the comfort of Maggie as a laboratory partner, because they’d been split up during their first year as a means of strengthening their characters as individuals—a stupid theory that neither of them could understand, since they did their preps together in their apartments with the Lady anyway. “I’m dying to see your project on Friday, Elizabeth,” purred Sophie “Bug Eyes” Bruckheim as she passed Lizzie’s bench. “I’m sure it will be a wonder on the level of your sycophantic friend’s intelligence system.” “Nothing could be,” Lizzie returned in flawless German, cool as you please.
