| Hello my dear BB! Just finished the chapter and I loved it! hobbits are so much fun, especially the way you write them!! Interesting touch that you bring in Aragorn's northern cousins, it has caused another plot bunny to hop around in my head! Hmmmm! MM | |

| "No, I managed not to laugh at you. It was Aunt Asphodel having an attack of the vapours and Lalia slapping her face which started the giggles. I thought they were about to have a fight, and then I imagined them throwing cream buns at each other and I lost control altogether." My dear BB!! I nearly rolled up when I read this bit!! LOL!! I can just see it happening!! I love the start of this! I love how you've involved Barliman and his son!! Also you've captured Elladan and Elrohir pretty well I think! I haven't finished the chapter but I just wanted to say a little something about the beginning so you would know that I have started it at least! Really wonderful!! MM Author Reply: I'm very flattered that you think I have managed to capture Elladan and Elrohir, because you write them so well. Couldn't leave out dear old Barliman, and I thought it was about time we met the next generation of innkeepers. Glad the tale of Merry's appearance at Menegilda's tea party amused you! I'm looking forward to the rest of the review soon. BB | |

| Anatomically impossible, you say? You have me roaring! Author Reply: I really am pleased that I've made you laugh. I think we can all imagine the sort of lyrics to that song! :-)) | |

| A wonderful story, thank you. Can't wait for the next update. I love your happy stories and have read most of them more than once. Author Reply: Delighted to know you are enjoying my happy stories. I like to think of our favourite characters enjoying themselves. Will be updating again very soon. | |

| 'Nineteen Nights in Nobottle'!" Aragorn explained. - Oh, I've been waiting for that one ;-) But what on earth happens in verse seventy one? "You'll have to wait till we're really drunk." - Well, I think that could be arranged! And I can assure you, I am of age, even if I were a hobbit! I really like the idea of Beregond and Bergil visiting the Shire. After all they have done, especially for Pippin, they deserve it. Author Reply: There is a hint about verse seventy-one, with Frodo's comment about vegetables! We shall see, but if the censored version was obscene I think you can imagine how bad the full version is! No doubt they will all be very drunk at some point suring the visit though. :-)) Yes, nice to think of Beregond and Bergil having some fun and a trip to the Shire to meet Pip's family. | |

| Aragorn looked round with great satisfaction at the laughing friends. "You see?" he said to his cousins, who were finding much amusement in the exchanges. "Happy hobbits - where would we be without them?" I hope we never have to find out. What a lovely surprise to find an update to this story in my Inbox tonight. Been wondering when you'd update it. I can so easily imagine Butterbar's face when he recieved the Royal Warrent. Also the faces of Aragorn's cousins when faced w/the choice of a Ranger Breakfast or a Hobbit Breakfast. What a hard, hard choice for them to make... ;o) Looking forward to seeing Aragorn, Faramir and the rest of the travellers from Gondor and Arnor experience a Shire Birthday. :o) Author Reply: Oh yes, they are going to have so much fun in the Shire. I can hardly wait to write about it! :-)) Yes, you can just see Barliman's expression as he unwrapped the package, can't you? As for breakfast......... who wouldn't want to breakfast like a hobbit? Nothing like happy hobbits. No wonder Aragorn thought it worth travelling all that way. | |

| Yippee!!! Another bit of "Reunion-verse"! This was wonderful! I love the way they are so familiar at the Pony, and Aragorn going "undercover" to be Strider once more--and Thorongil when he gets to the Shire. What a great way to avoid all the pomp and circumstance of a Royal Visit! I got a real chuckle out of Pippin, his appetite not one whit blunted since he was a tweenager! Hope you update soon! This universe just makes me go around with the goofiest grin on my face! Author Reply: I imagine there must be times when Aragorn would love to be Strider again, unseen and able to do as he pleases. There must be times when all that protocol and royalty drives him mad. I also think he would enjoy a little fun at Barliman's expense. I can't see Pippin ever being bored about food. He definitely has a hollow leg. | |

| First of all, the thought of Frodo shrieking with joy just makes my heart sing! And as usual, your details are astonishing... The innkeeper removed the oiled wrappings and thick cloth which protected the contents. Inside was a crest of painted and silver- gilded wood - the White Tree and Seven Stars topped with the crown. It bore the legend 'By Appointment to His Majesty King Elessar Telcontar and the Royal House of Gondor and Arnor, Suppliers of Fine Ales.' Wonderful! And I love these so much... "Will you have a Ranger breakfast or a hobbit one?" "What happens in Verse Seventy One?" asked Faramir, nearly exploding with curiosity. "We couldn't possibly tell you while we're sober. :D Author Reply: I thought a joyful Frodo would please you. :-)) No choice really, when offered a Ranger breakfast or a hobbit one. And we may yet learn a little more of the naughty verses for 'Nineteen Nights in Nobottle'!! | |
