The characterizations are wonderful, and find I enjoy Mardibold as much as young Hilly.

Author Reply: Ah, yes, the -bold family! Salt of the earth. (Always wondered what that meant. Doesn't salt make earth sterile?)

I hope it is clear that young Hilly is nephew to Hilly-the-escort.

Go, Mardi! You and Woodruff. Long-suffering healers the pair of you.

Though I don't quite go with the general obsession for seedcake. Although, it could be a way of sneaking necessary drugs into the Thain, perhaps. Poppy-seed cake for one.

Author Reply: KWYM. I don't know where Pippin got his liking for seedcake. Maybe from Bilbo. I certainly cannot stand the stuff.

Thanks!
