| It is a Good Thing that Woodruff had that sip of Ent-draught, or she would be totally bemused by all this. I just love the way Pippin leaps out of bed - all casual-like - as if nothing was ever wrong with him. And I rather liked Woodruff's opportunity to - er - study his physique, when she could be TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL about it and examine the state of his ribs. And Sam is clearly light-headed! But then, they all are - except Pippin, who is too busy eating to make up for lost time. Lovely. Author Reply: LOL "totally professional" and all that. Feeling a bit light-headed myself. Guess it's time for breakfast. Thanks! | |

| Oh, lovely, lovely. I don't think I've made mention of it before but I love Woodruff's voice, and how she has all these little asides and memories as she observes all that goes on. She's a great character. Author Reply: O thank you. I've always had a soft spot for Woodruff. It was fun to tell her tale. | |

| Ah, Lindelea, so properly joyful! And it's time indeed for a feast of welcome and thanksgiving, as their healed Thain is ready to rejoice and eat with everyone else! Lovely! Author Reply: Thanks! | |

| Happy ending! Of course, I knew Pip would come but it was a lovely story to see all through Woodruff's eyes. She is a wonderful character I think. Thank you for a very enjoyable read! :D Author Reply: Ah, thank you! I have always enjoyed playing Woodruff off against various Tooks, so it was nice that she got to have her own story. There is just one more chapter, to wrap things up and tie the two timelines together. It's in beta right now, but I hope to post it next week. | |

| Ha! I knew it was Ted... hehee! Nicely done! Author Reply: It would have taken a lot of work on the author's part for it *not* to be Ted. Good thing for Ted and Sweetie that I'm as lazy as I am. Thanks! | |

| Yippee! Yaaay! What a perfect ending to all this!! I *love*love*love* it! Everyone's amazement and bemusement, and Pippin simply taking it all in stride--so very, very lovely! *sigh* Thanks so much for this lovely look through Woodruff's eyes! Author Reply: O hurrah! Endings are such tricky things; you don't want to let people down by seeming to rush, or by writing an anticlimax... but all stories must come to an end some time. So glad it satisfies. There is actually one more chapter, which ties the two timelines together, to be posted next week sometime. You're welcome, and thanks to you in return! | |

| Yay! He finally woke up. That whole scene, when he first gets up, just gave me warm feeling. What a sweet, hobbity way to end this. They're happy, jesting and dancing. Just wonderful. Thanks. Connie B. Author Reply: Not quite the end. There is one more chapter that ties the two stories together at last. Look for it next week sometime if all goes well. I just love a happy ending. Hope it doesn't make my stories too predictable. Thanks! | |

| Bravo!! Bravisimo!! Bravo!! A fantastic finish to a marvelous story!!! 'Well,' he says with a wink. 'I'm back.' Absolutely too well done!! *Loud Applause* MEWD!! Author Reply: Thank you! (bowing and blushing) But not quite the finish. Look for a final chapter next week, if all goes well. Appreciate the encouragement. I must admit Woodruff has always been the OC of mine that I found most intruiging, though Ferdi and Hilly and Tolly have more adventures to write about than she does. *g* Thanks again for all your encouragement along the way. | |

| Hooray! Now, there's the chapter I've been waiting for! Pippin's finally healed and up again. And not only that: he's as good as new! Another hooray for the marvelous Ent draught and those who provided it! While reading this chapter I felt like Woodruff and Merry and Sam, I just couldn't believe it! But this convinced me: "Pippin slaps Merry on the back and laughs, and Merry throws his arms about his cousin, and the two begin a jig, a dance of joy and welcome, while the Mayor looks on, beaming." Great chapter :) Author Reply: So glad to oblige. There were times when it seemed as if Pippin would never wake up! It was certainly satisfying to make Pippin as good as new after putting him through the wringer for so long, poor lad. And of course, in "At the End of His Rope" he has one more encounter with Ent-draught, so it's a good thing he didn't drink it all up in this incident. Celebrations are so much fun to write! Thanks! | |
