Well, the prologue presents a few mysteries. It seems a group exists there that are not known of by Sir Philippe. So the new Groundskeeper is confronted with a few unknown surprises. Fun times ahead!

Hooray! you've already begun finding yourself in this fun little fantasy.... Nicholas has certainly landed every youth's dream job, yeah?!! :) Thanx so much for throwing your hat in with me, Rafy - hang on!! ;) :) Yvette :)
I do so apologize for the tardiness (and cut-and-pastiness!) of this response, I have been (still am!) in the midst of converting everything to online learning for the mandated school closings for the foreseeable future. Once I get ?ahead? in this ?change of venues? (i.e., instruction in cyberspace ? lol!), I promise to be back to ?me? in my responses? you know, the crazy blonde fantasy chick! ;) ;)
Be safe and, remember, if you see any offerings/reviews from me, they are my ?escape? from this insanity? you know, my pressure release valve!! ;) ;)
Take care of you and we?ll be sailing smoothly again in a few more days? hopefully!
[sorry - know you've seen this before, but I feel SOOO bad!!]

C1 - Meeting the Management

Hello, Yvette,

I'm intrigued...what will happen to Nicholas? What are the gnomes up to? So far, I really like Nick. He has a great attitude. Well done!

G-Trash! Seems the gnomes were too keen on him. I must say, this story gets more and more intriguing with each chapter. This one was even more fascinating than the last one. I look forward to chapter three.

LOL! Oh, yeah, that Constantine is something else - lol! ;) Glad you're hooked! ;) Yvette

The suspense is building well. I suspect Constantine is a trickster by the way he calls George Thrasher G-Thrash. Excellent exchange of dialogue.

Very imaginative chapter. Great imagery as well. Ii got a good image in my mind's eye while reading along. There is a whole other life living in the garden besides plants.

HOORAY!! :) I am so very glad you've decided to jump in and follow Nicholas and company!! :) Fantasy is what I enjoy the most... in fact, Even though I'm purposefully keeping each one to about 500 words on purpose, it is so-o-o tempting to go longer!! ;) :) But, I shall persevere (wink, wink!) and will be sure to keep you entertained! ;) :) Have a wonderful week ahead... Yvette :)

For some reason, it looks as if I didn't read these, or at least this one. I know I was reading this. This is so cute though... I love your fantastic fanciful mind! :)

Thanx for catching and keeping up, BLOTN! :) You know the blonde loves her some fantasy worlds - LOL! ;) Thanx and take care! ;) Yvette

Yvette,
And yes, so the adventure begins...I'm not quite sure how I have missed the first 5 chapters, but I saw the 6th chapter posted and thought I might well read from the beginning. My Evelyn would LOVE this, but she doesn't have the patience to wait for up and coming chapters, so I will let her read when you have finished. ;)
On to chap 2...
Beth

This is a delightful little story. I like the fact that it isn't so long and it is easy to read for failing eyesight. I think you're a good writer who knows how to keep a reader interest.

You really joined in - HOORAY!! ;) ;) So glad you're getting caught up and will be ready for next month's chapter... during the school year, I set a 'reasonable' goal of a chapter per month - it'll be such fun with you following! :) :) Have a wonderful week! Yvette

What a clever way to introduce the enchanted bush Rosa and the gnome Constantine to the reader. I knew when Nicholas couldn't find his way around the bush that something magical had to be going on. I love that everyone is so happy to be rid of the old grounds keeper. Looks like Nicholas is in for a wonderful time.

Thanx so much for taking the time to 'wade in' -- it's quite the garden! ;) Yvette

Excellent

I found this interesting and fun to read, YM. You did a great job introducing this chapter, the scenery, and the characters (perhaps the prologue did some, too. I will check that out). I like the quick thinking of Nicholas. I like the magical 'things' that happened here in this garden. I will continue to follow. Thanks for sharing and reminding readers to look back. Respectfully with Love and admiration, Jan
