| Lindelea! The Shire was definitely suffering hardship! It is good the four Travelers did not know, but the thought of the Shire untouched and that they were protecting the Shire is what kept them going. "The sharing out of the gatherings had kept the wolf from many a door, but the Master of Buckland had refused Deputy Mayor Frodo's offer of help, saying that Buckland had not suffered so much as the rest of the Shire, and that it was only right for the Bucklanders to tighten their belts, a bit, as their part of helping the Shire-folk get back on their feet." Very community spirited of Saradoc! "'Fine! The ponies are saddled, a picnic is packed, let us go and see what we can catch for the supper table!' Pippin sang. Ponies saddled already? He must start being stricter with the rascal; Peregrin seemed to think he had his uncle wrapped neatly around his little finger. All right, then, he would start on the morrow. But today, he intended to enjoy himself." True, but Pippin is so dear. I am glad that Saradoc has decided to go fishing. Little spots of joy are necessary in times of stress, upheaval. It is all part of the healing process and a return of more normal times. Thank you for chapter...and the warning of angst to come. I will soldier forward, so warned! (((hugs))) MM Author Reply: MM! Oops! I belatedly remembered that the next chapter, the fishing chapter, is angsty, but I can assure you that it all comes out right. In my Shire, the Brandybucks have a motto: people first, then supplies, then the clearing up. So the idea appears in several of my stories. You're so right about the absolute necessity of little spots of joy! I hope this reply finds you well. (((hugs))) dear friend. Lin | |

| It’s great that he’s making sure everyone is taken care of - but he needs to make time for fishing with his son too. Glad to see him doing that! | |

| Pippin's ability to read others and coax them out of their doldrums and into other activities will stand him in good stead when he's the Thain at last. | |

| Yep, being stricter with Pippin sounds like a notion that has always started 'on the morrow' and never today. But he has turned out alright anyway. | |

| All of the details required to feed so many hungry mouths. the Shire-folk pulled together to help each other through. Well done. And, you mean he does NOT have his uncle and everyone else wrapped up? Very nice! | |

| "Ponies saddled already? He must start being stricter with the rascal; Peregrin seemed to think he had his uncle wrapped neatly around his little finger. All right, then, he would start on the morrow. But today, he intended to enjoy himself." Saradoc *is* wrapped around Pippin's wee finger, as are most of the lad's relatives :) I'm fearing a relapse on Merry's part, which I don't think will bode well for his father either. On with the tale! | |
