Hi
Helen,

I think the house was different because of Goldberry.

This is really interesting, for you are ascribing more influence to Goldberry than to Tom! I, too, don't know for sure who or what she is--an enigma like Tom--but because of her washing day I relate her to seasonal changes. Perhaps a form of mythic Persephone without the abduction from the mother?
Sorry about the prelapsarian. I was spinning it off 'postlapsarian' which I learnt studying Milton and the Fall. Here's a link to an online dictionary.

PS. I'm not sure how I should address you. I hope 'Helen' is okay.
