 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Ohh, what was Varmas’s smile all about?
Had Claudine’s answer been what the woman was looking for or was it something else? She’d find out soon enough. In the meanwhile, there was nothing to do but busy herself by listening to the replies, and then to Varma as she sat back down on the stool.
So. Claudine had been right. This pleased her. The girl’s gaze followed the professor’s indication to the cauldron then to the board where the ingredients and method appeared. She was excited about this particular potion and she wasn’t even sure why. Right to brewing she got.
Once the cauldron was cleaned, two cups of water were measured out and added. The burner was ignited and set on a low flame after which she kept a sharp eye on the contents. While she waited and watched, the required amount of Dransul leaves were crushed. When the water in the cauldron was finally simmering as described, the two cups of elf made vinegar were poured in.
Had Claudine crushed the Dransul leaves until there was acid? Yes. That’s why the dropper could now be used to collect some. One, two, three drops went into the cauldron. Using the stirrer, the ingredients there got three counter clockwise stirs.
Not bad so far. |
