Summer Nights

Cast (in order of appearance or mention):
==> Faramir
==> Boromir
==> Elphir. Imrahil's oldest son, thirteen at the time of this story.
==> Matron. Middle-aged woman who works at the Silver Fox (OFC)
==> Imrahil. For this story I suppose that he is a widower, evidenced by the fact that 18-month-old Thiri is called the "Lady of Dol Amroth"
==> Isilwen. Prostitute in her twenties who visits Faramir. Literally, "moon-maid" or "woman of the night" (OFC)
==> Lothiriel, also called Thiri. Cousin of Boromir and Faramir. At the time of this story she is eighteen-months old.
==> Eseleth. A housemaid in Minas Tirith Boromir impregnated when he was Faramir's age.
