| Oh, my, and for whom are Estella's ribbons? For himself or Merry? And who else is at the door? Did Pippin propose to a number of sweet lasses last night? Or is this all a lovely, elaborate gag cooked up by Merry and Freddy and Berilac, perhaps? Am looking forward to reading more! Author Reply: Well, now that I know you've finished the story, I can tell you that it was originally written as a grand conspiracy cooked up between Merry and Freddy and Doderic and Ilberic and their sisters (and possibly Berilac as well), but that it turned out to be funnier the other way (as in, Pippin really did ask four maidens, at different times in the party, to dress up and wear ribbons and come for tea, but under the influence of the homebrew he kept forgetting what he'd done, so he kept doing it over!). | |

| Such a wicked story. Poor Pippin - I hope he Learns From The Experience. I enjoyed Estella's modest silence and downcast eyes. It seems very unlike her - she must have found it difficult to maintain. Merry the Hobbitservant. A new role for him! One to which, I would think, he is not naturally inclined. But I'm glad to see he can produce a delectable afternoon tea at short notice. It should stand him in good stead in later life. This is a fun story. I'm looking forward to more! Author Reply: I think she did... it was for her brother's sake, you know. Very strong will, that Estella has. She can even use it to exert control over herself, if need be. More (the conclusion, actually) has just been posted. Thanks! | |

| Lindelea. *stamps foot* I want more of the fic right now! This is exactly how I have always pictured Estella to be - physically and inside as well. Shy, raven-haired, lovely, but with a quick-wit and large heart. Bravo, you've read my mind! Thank you! I can't wait to see who is at the door... lol Poor Pippin, his betrothed may not be the lovely Estella after all! (and if it is, I'm sure Merry eventually will have something to say about that ;) ) Great job! Update soon please! (the descriptions of crankymorningPip were perfect. I felt empathy when Merry de-blanketed him and left him with sunlight in his eyes and cold on his feet. The home brew must be worth more than a sniff, I guess! Trust Pippin down it, at any rate XD ) Author Reply: Aha, so you found a way to get around to the end of the story. Very clever. Will answer your chapter 3 comments elsewhere. Actually, the Estella I've written in other stories isn't exactly shy, though she comes across in this story that way, as she's considering her brother's feelings. But I do love your description of how you see Estella! All the other qualities are the same. Cranky morning. Yes. Very familiar with that syndrome. *g* Thanks! | |
