Days

"And as the newest resident of out glorious Wizard's Emerald Palace, you must learn rules!"

Glinda groaned.

"How long will that take?"

"Oh, about a week. It's not much, really!"

A week? That was seven days wasted! She could be looking for Elphie!

"And what kind of rules will I learn," Glinda asked icily. She was sure she knew them all already.

"Rules of etiquette, of course. Now come, Glinda. We must begin!"

The next seven days took forever.
