| When I asked Gammer Goodbody why she did not hide from the sun, deep inside the cool of her delving, she said that winter's chill would come soon enough, and she must need soak up the sunshine while it lasts. *smiles* I guess the Long Winter will come soon enough. Author Reply: Yes it will. Our dc are still young enough that in the heat of summer they long for snow and cool weather, and in the chill of winter they long for summer's heat. | |

| Oh, I think I like Fortimbras. Author Reply: I think he'll make a good Thain, somehow. Is he Ferumbras' father? I don't have my genealogy in front of me at the moment. Too bad, if he is, about his choice of wife. *shakes head* A pretty face does not a happy marriage make. (Not always, anyhow) Author Reply: Oops, I thought you were commenting on a "Bilbo" chapter and not on his great-grandfather! There I go with names again, though in this case it's understandable, considering he has a cousin by the same name as his forebearer. | |

| It can be hard to remember winter`s chill on a very hot day. Those hobbits reminds me of us Norwegians, lol. Despite the hot day we stay outside because it`s sun and warm and how it`s supposed to be. And then we ask when it`s going to rain because the nice summer can`t possibly last (and rarely does either). :D Author Reply: And now you're having very chilly weather, indeed... *hugs and hot cider and warm snuggly blankets and a roaring fire on the hearth and a good book to read* | |

| If it is too hot to ride a pony, is it not too hot to send a grandson? Answer: no. Ponies cost money. Grandsons come without direct payment. Though the hot summer definitely augurs the bad winter. Author Reply: Ah, that makes things very clear. I'll pass that on to Fortinbras. Why is it that a hot summer augurs a bad winter? It was the same in Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Long Winter". Of course, we cannot have any old "Indians" walking into the scene, warning about the bad winter to come with sign language. Will have to figure out some other device. | |

| Poor abused Fortinbras, having to run errands for his grandfather! What horrible fate will the old Thain deal out next? LOL! You've painted the perfect picture of aggrieved youth! *giggle* Author Reply: Thanks for the quick review! Poor abused, put-upon youth. There really ought to be a law... | |
