Awww such a sweet story. Aragorn was so good to his people. I loved seeing his interaction with Miriel. *grin*
(Yes, I was indeed one of your readers from way back in 2004. I feel a little special that you remember me at all. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.)

This was especially good from Aragorn's revelation of himself onward. He was a great king and loved his people well.
Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

This was wonderfully sweet without being in the least saccharine, and very, very enjoyable!
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Miriel gets home...

LOL, out of the mouth of babes. Miriel's poor parents, unfortunately I too can recall a time or two when my child parroted some thing I said and just like her parents it usually left me mortified ***sighs***
Thank you for the charming story Linda and Happy Christmas to you.

Many thanks or your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed this story.I think if Miriel had known who she was talking to she would have been more careful! Happy Christmas to you too.

Oh no, Linda, you can't leave it there! I want to see Míriel's parents when the KING shows up at their door. LOL! Please consider writing 'chapter two' of this delightful ficlet.

I would love to see the faces of her parents when they have their private audience with the king. Thanks for a lovey story.

Ah, been a time since I read this. Poor Miriel, learning the door to her retreat will be sealed, although she does now have excellent prospects for her future! And a better one to find there could not be encountered than the King himself!
Author's reply
Many thanks or your much appreciated review. I thought it was time I posted some BTME stories elsewhere.I think Miriel will be able to visit the garden sometimes and her future will be happy.

That last line was so very...perfect! I burst out laughing and both of my dogs looked at me like I had lost my mind...
Today has been a day filled with sad news for me, so this little tale is exactly what I needed tonight! Thank you!

Yes, Miriel will do very well as one of Arwen's ladies.
“Your parents greatly desire an audience with me, you said? ... Then I will come with you.” -- That made me laugh.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! And thanks for the stories.
