| Yes, Merry has to be the one who knows, who understands what's happening. Each is taking his proper role in the quest.... Author Reply: Merry is so much more perceptive and mature than the movie portrayed. *sigh* | |

| Oh this was great! Merry as I love to see him, intelligent, perceptive, far-thinking, protective, slightly cynical, yet still filled with a deep love and devotion for his cousins. *Sigh* | |

| Wow! You really show Merry as a strong, intelligent hobbit. I'm glad Strider didn't pull any punches telling him about Frodo's wound. If something were to happen to him, Merry is the best choice to lead the others on to Rivendell. I'd never realized before that Merry was the only hobbit who had never seen an elf! I'm glad Sam got the elf-stone. His conversation with Merry about his faith in the elves was a lovely way to end this chapter. | |

| I think I am most touched in this chpapter with the emotion of Merry as he thinks about the fate of his cousin. I think of the first time I read the book the fear of not knowing what would happen, how it had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put the book down. You have captured what it might have been like to live through it - for their fears to be there, the unknowns they faced - of future attack, of not making it to Rivendell in time; of whether Frodo could be helped once they go there. Merry's fear and pain were palpable. And I LOVE that sam got the elf-stone!! | |

| Wonderful conversation with Merry, who is really quite a practical and intelligent fellow. I love the mention of Pip singing and telling stories to soothe Frodo. I await the next chapter eagerly. | |

| BTW, I am also known as Melime over at ff.net. They had too many Miriels there. Anyway, thank you! thank you! thank you! for the wonderful chappie with an intelligent Merry! I never realized before that Merry was the only Hobbit who never saw elves before they arrived in Rivendell. It's interesting to see others POV of Frodo wasting away. Most enlightening to say the least. Hmmm...where will the story go next? Also, thank you for putting your comments to reviewers at the end of the story. I like them better down there. :) Update soon! | |
