What is it? asked Eowyn. A wooden box had
arrived, earlier that morning.
Perfumes, melmenya, said Legolas, for our
lady guests. From the south, courtesy of our friend, Captain
Oliel. He broke the wax seal, lifted the lid, and drew
out a slender crystal bottle. Do you remember the scents
of the Turquoise Gardens?
Yes, said Eowyn. She turned away. I must
arrange supper.
And then, said Legolas, she just left.
And you wonder why she was upset? Gimli shook his
head. She was jealous ladbecause you
had gone behind her back and bought things for other women.
