Beautiful

Very nice.

Pleasant. Predictable. Well Written

Wow! Excellent!!

When referring to paper, envelopes, and such, the word is “stationery.” If referring to things that do not move, it is “stationary.”

*****Good storytelling with a warm ending. Thanks for sharing.

Very entertaining. 5 stars.

@bobbycully55 Yeah, this story was one giant trope and was quite blatantly derivative of My Fair and Lady Pygmalion, both of which I mention in the story. But it was a helluva lot of fun to write.

Plus I would have loved to cast a younger Collin Firth as Freddy.

Note also - Freddy was the name of the young man who fell in love with Eliza in My Fair Lady. In the film he was played by Jeremy Brett, who went on in later life to play Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series.

BOOM!! <mic drop>

Excellent story. And it was a helluva lot of fun to read. 5stars

@Prfsr - Whoops!! Thanks for catching that. Embarrasing!!

Interesting story!

Very sweet.

Great gift. Glad that the cockney accent was a put on. I think that even if she had been a 10, the gum popping and cockney accent would have been too much to overcome. Nice story and ending, thanks.

Great read. I had to look up 'germiane' and surmise you meant 'germane', which makes for an even better pun. I lol'ed anyway. Only drawback is I couldn't stop thinking about five or ten years from now, when the next installment of the deceased wife's comforting shows up on the doorstep... 5/5.

@Erocrat Sigh ... I really need to proofread better. That's two gaffs in the same story. Thanks for catching it and for appreciating the pun despite the typo. AND for the nice words and rating!

Good story.

I quite enjoyed that! I am a big fan of this sort if English story! A little bit of humorous wish fulfillment is in fact my cup of coffee. (Not tea, as I am a Yank who uses a microwave a little baggy to make 'tea'. Seriously though, Southern style iced tea, on a warm, humid summer day, sitting on a wooden rocker, under the shade of a porch, is wonderful. Mostly it has lemon slices added to it, but my Mom uses fresh mint instead, and it is heavenly.)
