    Summary

    “A bad omen,” Elphaba said to the voice, turning slowly on her knees and rising ever so clumsily until she fell into a pew, boards hard at her back. “Hello, Glinda. You look ridiculous.”

    “So do you,” the girl muttered, and fit her hands along her hips in a very reminiscent sort of way. “Praying, Elphie? And such a dingy chapel at that. You’ll dirty your pretty dress.”

    or, glinda comes to visit elphaba in the emerald city chapel three times that one winter.

    Summary

    There it was at once—the power, that indescribable quality that drew Galinda to her and repelled her at once, repelled her because it spoke to her of things she did not want to face in herself.

    Elphaba was beautiful, and Galinda told her so, and then, in a sudden ecstasy of tenderness, she leaned forward and kissed her cheek, and then, just to see what it would feel like, kissed her mouth.

    Summary

    Even as she spoke Chantilly was pulling out from nowhere a matchbox emblazoned with a cormorant. She removed a match, struck it not on the box but on her bottom lip, and used it to light the end of Pickman’s cigarette.

    It is difficult, but not impossible, to negotiate with a train.
