Last week, in a book containing glossaries of
near-forgotten words, I found her name. But I fear to tell it to you
for, as Terrie says, names hold great power and to reveal it might cause her to
lose her magic. Suffice it to say, it’s one I doubt you’ll ever guess.
And, not for that snippet of wisdom, but because, by
the narrowest of margins, Terrie’s ‘Gathering Magic’ charm-sharded its
way to top place, leaving several panting in the rear, I declare her this week's winner.
Thank you all for another hard-to-choose-from week of
entries (and I trust Patricia will be unable to resist a continuation with the
following).
