Frodo thought for a moment. ‘Well, Sam, what about elanor, the sun-star, you remember the little golden flower in the grass of Lothlórien?’

Little Elanor was nearly six months old, and 1421 had passed to its autumn, when Frodo called Sam into the study." --The Return of the King.
This kind of thing is why I am not crazy about galloping through a large number of prompts as fast as I can write. Just me, I guess, but I get a flaming red face when I make little mistakes like that. I suppose one can always go back after the end of the month and clean up. But the school of crash it out now and clean it up later has never felt remotely comfortable to me. I am still working on my third story of the month! I am a real spoil sport.
