Ahhh… so that’s the problem! But Pippin’s already got a sweetheart …. That’s hardly fair of his dad.

Merry, you’ll have to swoop in and save the day! ;-)

Author Reply: Someone's got to swoop in, for sure! But since marriage contracts appear to be legal and binding (how annoying!), and Merry's not much of a rebel – he's more loyal and faithful than anything else – he might not be able to imagine a workable solution.

However, there are others in the picture with lots of imagination and energy and nerve, so all hope is not yet lost, I'm glad to say. (Is that too much of a spoiler?)

So, Paladin would see Pippin married to Estella, would he? While Pippin is still remembering a certain farmer's daughter from the Northfarthing, although not with enough relish at the moment, I fear. Okay, Merry, it's time for you to waken to the realization that this is the one you are meant to marry, and to send for Diamond to tend to Pippin to reawaken him to life.


Author Reply: Yes, Paladin is thinking of Estella's money and her family's influence, I think, in his continuing struggle to keep the Tookland going. At least it wasn't ravaged by ruffians.

Hmmm. Your solution sounds very plausible!
