OP A favourite author are Emily Latham (are 'cos it's actually a collaboration) who has introduced me to a few new words.
Today I found ambit. A hostess seated someone she was trying to influence "close to her ambit". Area or range in which something acts or operates or has power or control. Orbit would definitely imply already having control but ambit doesn't necessarily.
I presume it is related to ambition???
