| Lindelea! I love Diamond! She has got spirit! How does Pippin get into these scrapes? LOL! MM Author Reply: So glad you like her! It always seemed logical to me that the Travellers, being the extraordinary hobbits that they are, would marry wives with spirit and courage and common sense. Rosie Cotton certainly set the tone, even with the small glimpse that JRRT gave of her. (I have to admit that Pippin has got into a lot of scrapes in my stories because the Muse has a taste for angst and h/c. It got so bad that I had to lay off him and pick on Ferdi instead for a while, until one of my readers threatened to start a Ferdi Protection Society... LOL) Good to hear from you! Stay well. | |

| I agree--since Frodo left the Shire we appear to need to have Pippin's health endangered very frequently, it seems. He inherited Frodo's position as designated victim of any potential disaster there is, it appears. But I love the writing and the love clearly expressed between Diamond and Pippin. Lovely beginning. | |

| I remember this opening well from the first time I read this. I love Pippin's talk abut his luck and Diamond's answering jests. She is always so very good with him. Loved the group riciting the words of Sam Gamgee on the need for ropes! Too funny. | |

| Well, after all the reminders, I decided to start this one over at the beginning and read it all the way through again, instead of just trying to pick out the relevant chapters as they are referenced. I immediately remembered this opening... Pippin *does* have a point about his luck. He doesn't realize his luck is dependent on some author's muse... If he only knew...(sly grin) | |
