" . . . . he sent a smoke ring into Pippin's face, starting an all-out smoke war between the three of us. "


Very nice. This is very much your own line, I think? Very fun and I can just picture them puffing away.

That idea of trying to quit smoking is rather modern, though . . .

Happy typing,

Esamen


Author Reply: Very much my own line, indeed. I love the image it presents. ^_^

As to the idea of quitting smoking...you know that today various fads arise pertaining to health and so forth - "The Pork Diet" could possibly be one someday. ^_^ But those sorts of things have been going around ever since forever, I think, and so the idea of quitting smoking is (in Middle-Earth) probably just that: a fad that most people don't believe or fall in with.

Freddie just seemed like the sort of person to try a fad like that. ^_^

Many Thanks for your wonderful reviews!

Now this little story is shaping up nicely. I love reading *other* folk's take on the famous conspiracy. I particularly enjoy the changing POV, from one to the other. You've captured all their voices very well.

Author Reply: Thank you so much, Dreamflower! My dear beta has told me many times that I'm doing a good job, but I sometimes have a fear that she's a bit biased. ^_^ Even though I know she isn't.

There's only one or two chapters left - I have to decide whether or not to do a "Frodo" chapter. It would probably be just him and Merry talking before they go to sleep on the night of the "big reveal". But I might not do that. XD We'll see what happens, eh?
