Secrets easily flow
Until they reach the right ears
Then they are accepted or rejected
Sometime, they bring tears.

This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Comment from apky
An enchanting story with equally enchanting characters.
This is a genre I'm learning to get into and I enjoyed and appreciated your style, your eye for details and your descriptive prowess.
I look forward to more.
"...I was on my way to meet with him so we could fulfill our promise(,) when I heard of his death."
Cheers,

Comment from Heather Knight
Very interesting conversation. The dialogue is natural and I can feel Piper's frustration and sadness.
I wonder what will happen when he meets his biological mum.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
Another solid chapter here. Interesting revelations about Piper's heritage and the dialogue works well.
To being with, your grandfather - to begin with?
Fair Folk mature at different rates, especially when bloods are mixed. - you need to have closing speech marks here.
I have to say that the repetition of the flute polishing grated on me by the end. I get that it's a repetitive act that is comforting for Piper, but maybe consider altering a few for different actions? I think it's referenced six times here. Other than that a great instalment.

Hi G,
Well, we cannot have grated G so I have gone ahead and taken the flute polishing down to three times. I'll look at it later and see if I can remove one more. Thanks for the heads up. I have corrected the other nits you mentioned as well. Thanks for a great review. Debi

Comment from robyn corum
Dear friend,
This is the first I've read of this story-line, and though I don't typically enjoy the fantasy genre, I did find this pleasing and well-written. Great job!
Only a couple of notes, if you'll permit?
1.) At least he is making it easy to (begin?)
2.) (My?) parents died from the fever when I was nine.
Thanks !

Hi Robyn,
Thank you for the encouraging review. Most especially, thank you for catching the SPAG. I've read this chapter through so many times and just didn't see those very obvious errors. I appreciate the close read and the assistance. Debi
