A Price above Rubies by Linda Hoyland

That was cute, fun idea; Anduril as a teething ring! Goodness, but I can understand why it was worth a moment of silence. I like how "rubies" was interwoven throughout. -Kitt :)

Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you enjoyed the story. I remember a friend once bringing a crying baby.If Anduril would have brought peace,I'd gladly have offered it!I'm glad the rubies theme worked for you.

Linda, that was such a sweet and funny story. Poor Aragorn, first he's so harassed that he allows his daughter to chew the hilt of his beloved Andúril, and then such a horrible worry. I'm glad Arwen relented, and let him join her again. My favourite bit though is the part were he's engrossed in telling Eldarion about his exploits. That sounded so true to life. A most enjoyable story.

Alas, how the mighty have fallen - Aragorn, the greatest huntsman/King/warrior/etc. in Middle-earth, undone by a fretful teething baby! Seriously, a charming, funny and heart-warming story.

The poor baby! And such silly worries to share for the night. Am glad that the stone was found and all was well after all.

LMAO. The lovely image of Aragorn soothing his daughter by allowing her to teethe on Anduril is surpassed only by the hysterically funny one of him being forced to perform poo patrol for the next two days. Glad to find that it didn't come to that after all. A really sweet and humorous story, Linda.

Poor royal parents, having as much trouble and anxiety over fretful babies as any other parents! :)

Thank you,it seems sometimes being royal does not help,save the baby might have swallowed a ruby instead of a penny!
