CHAPTER NINE

Once Mrs. Drundyl disappeared again, Maury glanced at his fellow wizards. “What should we do now?”

Thomas rose from his seat at the table and stepped toward the room just off the dining room that Frannie and Sinclair had disappeared into. “It’s the perfect opportunity, don’t you think?”

“You’ll lock the door?” Willie Jo asked.

Thomas pulled out his wand and made a circular motion toward the office door, calling up a gust of wind and making the door bang shut. Another motion and the door locked with a resounding click. “That should do it.”

“Your magic is in far better working condition than mine,” commented Maury with a tone of approval. “I need more practice.”

Thomas quickly pocketed his wand as Mrs. Drundyl returned to the dining room carrying two covered platters. She dithered at the sideboard rather than serving, and Maury suspected she was waiting for Sinclair to return.

His stomach grumbled at the smell of the food. If their plan was successful, there was no reason for them to wait to eat. It could be hours. He cleared his throat to draw Mrs. Drundyl’s attention and cover his nervousness. “M-M-Mr. Haliday indicated you should go ahead and s-s-serve us. It may be a while before he can return.”

Willie Jo tittered, almost giving them away. He covered his mouth to mute his laughter.

Maury relaxed when Mrs. Drundyl began placing dishes of salad in front of them, and putting salads at the empty seats. Before long, she left the room.

Thomas was the first to speak. “Not only did I lock the door, but I extinguished the candles, too. With any luck, we can cross our first love match off the list before dinner tonight.”

Maury wasn’t convinced it would be so easily accomplished, not with the way Frannie and Sinclair appeared to disapprove of each other. But then, animosity had often been known to turn into something more, and lasting. He just wasn’t sure it could happen in hours rather than days or weeks. But he kept his thoughts to himself and settled down to consume the delicious salad.
