Day 83
A hard row to hoe
Against counsellors' objections, he summoned her to court. She answered she would come when work in house and garth allowed.
He waited a week.
When she was presented at last, he tried to speak lovers' words, show her the splendours of his realm, promise the Necklace of Girion. She was courteous but unmoved.
He grew downcast.
Seeing it, she took his hand. "I would have gladly wed Bard the Bowman and been merry. But this...?"
He smiled. "I would return it all to win a heart like yours. But I must do my duty. Will you have me even so?"
