“You did say five,” he said apologetically. This morning he was wearing dark purple robes covered with demon faces. The faces showed their fangs when they saw Meg, but she hardly noticed, and Lex shut the door again. Meg yawned and stretched. She managed to wash up and put on the clean brown dress Lex had somehow provided. The best thing about the dress was that it had secret pockets. Meg tucked the counterspell into one of them before she rambled off behind her swirling scarf to the room where she had first met the boy wizard. Nort was already there, eating scrambled eggs. “Did you sleep well?” Lex asked, pouring Meg a glass of apricot juice. “Mm-hmm,” Meg replied. “Not me,” Lex said brightly. “I stayed up making you a new spell.” “I don’t have any more treasure,” Meg mumbled. Lex waved his hand. “It’s on the house. It’s not every day I get to aid and abet a runaway princess.” Meg drank the juice, waking up a bit more. “What’s the spell for?” Nort asked, his mouth full of egg.
