| A delightful sketch of little lord Boromir stuck in the schoolroom! He's better at practical things and battlefield tactics than memorizing dates. Question - "Boromir crossly pushed away the book he had been set to con" - I don't understand the last three words - is it a typo, is my computer leaving off letters, or am I dense? Author Reply: Thanks for the feedback! I'm a primary teacher myself and, you know, there are a lots of kids who just aren't the sit down and learn type but who, like Boromir, have great determination and drive. set to con No, you aren't dense - I'm being obscure. I often use old, though not necessarily of any particular age, words to try and give my stuff a flavour of not being *now*. Con means to study or learn so Boromir has been told to learn a cerain number of pages or something like that of the book. | |
