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.

Comment from lyenochka
I like your pink armadillo! He's a character and I like the
snort that is " like the lower note of a saxophone. " Good characterization and I like the narrator's pleasant way of building up his relationship with him.

You know, the little critters do 'snort' a bit when they're digging... cute (although their digging makes my husband CRAZY!!) but I thought it needed to be brought forward as a bit more musical and definitely not when he was digging...LOL! ;) :) Thanx for the review, Helen, and you take care! ;) Yvette

Yvette, I'm glad you decided to write your 500 word chapters again. I'm still missing Maggie but Sir Archie is OK. Still, if I was the Groundskeeper and I had a pink Knight the nights would be painted rainbow colors. :) Thank you for this entertaining story.

LOL!! ;) Rainbow, eh? I'll keep that in mind! :) And don't worry, I'm working toward some other installments... just trying to get over the 'blues' that moved in a couple of weeks ago -- I'm getting there!! ;) :) Take care over there, Jose, and have a wonderful evening! ;) Yvette

I have been waiting, I thought you might be teaching and not writing so I was patient. Sir Archie seems to be a character to be watched and I think will help Nicholas into the cabinet.

And you would be write -- the whole teaching gig is a bit of a bummer toward the end of the quarter, but grades are in and I'm breathing again! ;) :) LOL! Thanx for the review, Rikki, always so good to hear from you -- glad you enjoyed this chapter to the fun! ;) :) Yvette

Comment from Melonie Kirchoff
Sir Archie the pink ninja armadillo is such a great character. His noble character reminds me of Reepicheep from the Chronicles of Narnia. Excited to read more from you!

Sir Archie is great, isn't he?! LOL! A knight in his armor... and he's pink! ;) Thanx so much for catching up, Melonie -- I'll do my best to get another chapter out earlier than the usual once a month to make up for my 'skip' last month! ;) :) Take care out there! ;) Yvette
Comment from aryr
Very well done Yvette, I really enjoyed this chapter, not only because Nicholas got to meet Sir Archibald, but he showed him his respect for a title, after initially wishing to call him Archie. Now they are off to the next adventure-the cabinet.

You know, that was a purposeful inclusion as I'm hoping it demonstrates to the young reader the importance of respect to those that have earned it (even though they're smaller or different...). :) ;) Thanx for the review, ma'am, and for your continued support!! ;) Yvette

You are most welcome Yvette. Great job.
Comment from Debbie Pope
This is such a charming tale. I like the names and the chivalry of it all. Everything is so formal and serious. That is such a nice relief from our haphazard world where kids like social media and drugs.
I look forward to the next chapter.

Hooray!! You noticed that aspect... although I'm hoping it's not a detriment... sigh. :) :) Thanx so much for the review and those wonderful stars, MQ -- but, most of all, ma'am, thank you so very much for your continued support!! ;) It (and you!) give me my 'green light' to keep up with this writing bit... :) :) Thank you. Yvette :)
Comment from juliaSjames
A pink armadillo, shocking! He's well cast as a knight since he has natural body armour. Guardian of the magic cabinet. I can't wait to learn what's inside.
Can you tell I spend a lot of time watching "episodes" with my grandkids? From this hard earned expertise I urge you to introduce another female character and/or upgrade Rosalind the rosebush.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This is well penned with no evidence of SPAG to be had making for a smooth and enjoyable reading experience. The story progresses in a fluid and logical manner making it easy to follow. The dialog is consistent with both the characters and the setting. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Janetsue
I especially like the warm sensitivity of this in the exchange about Sir Archibald's name. (Things like that tend to stick with me.) It is a lovely series and, as time allows, I do plan to go back and catch up on the chapters I haven't yet read. I'm positive it will be a sweet undertaking.) :-) Janet

Oh, I'm so very glad you've decided to go back, Janet, and I hope you enjoy.... it's a young person's novel, but hopefully one that parents would enjoy reading with their young person to encourage discussions and reading! ;) :) Thanx for your support and enjoy the day! ;) Yvette

I often read YP books and have found that a great many of them are well-written and have intricate plot twists. :-)
