Alphabet of Arda by Linda Hoyland
shirebound · 18 July 2007 · Chapter 2: B= Bathing Boromir
Aragorn tore a strip from his shirt and soaked it in the river. With it he gently bathed the dead man’s face, washing away the blood and grime. It was the last service he could render. That's lovely, and so poignant.

Linda, you and Raksha are positively mean to poor, defenseless Arwen. Oops, I mean XenArwen. Oops, maybe I better duck to avoid a flying shoe thrown at me from out of the depths of the SoA website. But seriously, I got a kick (not a shoe) out of these drabbles. I hope you'll continue with more ficlets derived from the Alphabet of Arda prompts. By the way, I really like the layout of your page with the graphics. - Steff

I'm pleased you liked the way I displayed them on my site.That is the joy of your own page,nice though archives are !

"I am sorry, beloved, the work of your hands is wondrous fair, but is this son we made together not fairer still?” What a diplomat! And it worked. :)

He is indeed a diplotmat, what better guaranteed to melt Arwen !

Actually, I'd rather deal with Antagonistic Arwen - she's less likely to physically dismember me. Excellent concept; and I especially liked the last drabble.

Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'd prefer Arwen to the Orcs any day too,but then we are not warriors.I love your two drabbles in this series.

It would appear almost everyone would rather face orcs--and I'm certain with excellent reason. Wonderful, Linda!
