Summary
“For shame Miss Elphaba, and you’ve always been so clever! Do I really need to spell it out for you?” asked Pfannee, in a mockish impression of the condescending lilt that could only be found bouncing off the walls in the offices of Madame Morrible.“Ah. I see,” said Elphaba. She shifted her grip on her bag, swinging it over so she could hold it in one hand. It found a resting place amongst the paneling along the side of her modest dress to distort its presence.“Would you be good enough to explain for those of us with poor eyesight?” Avaric implored. His usual swagger belied an uneasiness his shifting feet could not hide.“Forgery. Pfannee sent the letter.”or:What if Galinda had been writing Elphaba letters she never intended to send during their first summer apart at Shiz?
