admiring your
gorgeousness!" said Telly in a musical tone of voice. "Are you the
next TV heart-throb? The next Susan Lucci? Are you going to take the
couch potatoes
of the world by storm and make all of them yearn to be you? You
could, you know. You surely are already the envy of everyone who has
ever laid eyes upon you!" The Witch looked at her prisoner. "What is
this machine up to, boy? And you'd best not lie to me again!" "Oh,
no!" replied Graham. "I have learned
my lesson, to
be sure. I wouldn't think of telling another lie." "Then what is this
clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk babbling
about?" she sneered. "I'm truly relishing your magnificent beauty!"
repeated Telly. "My friend is
simply admiring your
beauty, like he said," answered
Graham, not sure why Telly was acting this way, but deciding
it would be best to play along. "I think he is quite smitten with
you!" "Really?" said the Witch. "Tell me more." "You are truly a
vision of loveliness!" charmed Telly in a most dramatic manner. "My
heartstrings are all going
ZING!"
"They are?" the Witch said, somewhat perplexed. "Maybe
the spell worked after all. I guess it was a delayed reaction. Give
me a mirror! I want to see how I look!" "Er... You don't want to do
that,"
said Graham.
