Timothea met her true love while she was stuck in a tree, wearing a primrose gown. They shared a Christmas carol, then he was gone. A gentleman rescued Timothea, which wasn't as romantic as it sounded. She turned down a proposal before it was made. She carried out a trial of valour and had a most uncomfortable talk with her maman. She got stared at when she danced with a damsel and advised by a leprechaun. It was an eventful ten years. Then, when she'd given up hoping, she and her true love reunited on another Christmas Eve. She learned why he played his fiddle in the Yule grove all that time ago. And then, she told him her story—the tale of Timothea.
