Haha, I don't think I would be able to control my laughter if I saw something like that. I love the description of Archie, he sounds so cute. Aww, he is so nice Archie, that's great. It's good that he is so perceptive.

Comment from Bill Schott
This is still a marvelous tale of Nicholas and the garden crew. I enjoyed the diplomatic handling of Archie and thanks for listing the characters again. I'll need to read this to my granddaughter.

Comment from Ricky1024
This was well written and rich in Theme and Imagery.
It read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.
...
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks,
Doctor Ricky 1024

Comment from robyn corum
Yvette,
I'm so glad you are continuing this story. It is simply delightful. The imagination shown in the creation is out of the box. *smile* These characters are just sooooo stinking FUN!
One note:
1.) He eyed me suspiciously as he stared for (a) few silent moments.
Thanks a bunch! Looking forward to more!

Hey there, LadyR! ;) Thanx for the catch and for keeping up with Nicholas and all the shenanigans at the Gardens -- gonna try to stay up on things this time... ;) :) Yvette :)
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Can I be bold enough to suggest the first paragraph is a run-on sentence?
From "Constantine to grin" is another.
"Stared for few silent moments" seems to be missing the word "a" to make the sentence read "Stared for a few silent moments".
Possibly in order to keep the entire sentence in the past tense make "Constantine huffed. Rolling his eyes, and elbowed Archie" to "Constantine huffed. He rolled his eyes and elbowed Archie".
These are mere suggestions so feel free to use any that may help or toss the whole lot.
Enjoyed this encounter between Archie and the Gardener. Archie is indeed an interesting character.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written chapter. When there is mutual respect between the management and the workers it is always a pleasure to work together and everyone seems happy to be working.
