“”Fresh lemon, you little tic turd,”"

Very nice. I think. I hope this isn’t the end of the story, there is so much more to discover.Hopefully. And it’s part of my weekend now. I very much like the fresh lemon, did not know you can use that against them little beasts. I will always have some ready now. Where did Cathy get hers from, considering she has milk in her tea?

I love how you tied in the other parts of the story (especially the 2nd wish) into this to make it a satisfying ending. Like others have said, I hope we get a glimpse of her again sometime in the future to see how she’s getting on. Great story (not just this installment, but the story as a whole).

Such a wonderful and satisfying end to the story of this world, Em. I will miss Cathy.

And as I look around outside I can see that despite the sun, the glorious flora, and Spring urging Winter to take itself away for well deserved hibernation, this mundane plane could never shine with the brilliance of Oz.

Loved the series. It was brilliant!

I adore *that* moment in the Wizard of Oz! And I love the world you’ve created here, too. Good for Cathy, I’m so pleased she won out in the end (well, I’m assuming she did).

I’ve always wanted to know how to deal with those tricksy little fairies. I’m off to buy some lemons … and not for my tea, either!

I love Tony’s reply, too, and like Diana, I hope we’ll see more of Cathy at some point.

Nice one, Em!

I liked Tony’s comment, too. I haven’t been following the serial and it helped shed a little light on the story.

I’m afraid to ask…did she win?
I love Tony’s reply!

Katarina! We will see her again won’t we? I’ve grown fond of her. FYI, if I had a last wish, I would wish for a billion more wishes!
