He had almost forgotten that his Madame Governor was once sweet and harmlessly devoted to him. Her twisted behaviour since they had left Shiz had overpowered her once-compassionate character.

However, when he had walked in, answering to her call, announcing, "I'm glad you called me; there is something you must know," he immediately saw something different about her- he couldn't quite place it.

She was smiling. She could stand.

Somehow this phantom reflection of Nessarose was more frightening than the adamant grip of his Governor.

"Nessa, I lost my heart to Glinda the moment I first saw her," he explained, nervously, to the smitten woman before him.

Silence. Then, an angry, "Lost your heart? Well, we'll see about that. Remember who's your Madame Governor."

Nessa had vanished as quickly as she had reappeared.
