This is not what I expected at all. I love that it is Eglantine who is doing the rescuing on this one. She a strong personality and such a fighter. "Son of a Took" LOL now that is both an insult and a compliment, isn't it. The double-edged sword of all time. She has managed to get his arm free. I will be interested to see what else she can do. If another quest shoulc come about, I think Eglantine should get to go.

Author Reply: I surprised you, really? What fun!

Bet Pippin got a lot of his strength from her, don't you think? Hmmm, think of it. A granny-quest!

Thanks!

I just had to laugh at Eglantine's bluntness. Now we know where Pippin gets a lot of it from.

That nightmare of hers was frightening, and so were the crows.

I hope they really do stay put and let help come to them. People are a lot easier to find when they're not out try to find the the searchers.

Thanks.

Author Reply: LOL--yes, Eglantine is plain-spoken. Do you suppose it's a Banks characteristic, or did the Tooks rub off on her?

You know, I hadn't thought of the fact that it's easier to find lost people when they stay put, but you have a point. I don't think she's going to leave Tolly, though.

You're welcome, and thanks for commenting!

Well done, Eglantine. And you've surprised Tolly. He'll stay alive for Sweetie and the little'uns if he can. The idea of being trapped and unable to help yourself while carrion birds peck at you is horrific.

I have my fears for the ponies, though. But if one has escaped, they might raise the alarm. With luck.

Author Reply: Horrific, a good word for it. Yes, Eglantine managed Paladin for years, and learned something about motivation.

My goodness, in two stories simultaneously you're picking up on plot clues. Very sharp!
