Aha--someone who is not accustomed to the naming practices of Dwarves--and is SHE mistaken.

Good advice from Merry to Pippin, and it sounds indeed as if Diamond has done precisely what Pippin accused her of--she caught it!

Author Reply: LOL, you got *that* right! I just thought that bit would be funny. Yes, she did...and I'd tell you more but I'd ruin it for you! Thanks for reading!

Oh sheesh! Poor Pip!

Diamond just has to jump to conclusions, doesn't she?

"Trouble in Paradise" indeed. Forgive me if I grin, 'cause that means the story will last just a wee bit longer...

Author Reply: LOL, you and G.W. are terrible! I don't know what happened, but this "last" chapter just kept on going like the Energizer Bunny. I do intend this next one to be the last...we'll see if I've lied again.

"Diamond just has to jump to conclusions, doesn't she?"
This is where email is two dimensional--I can't tell by this comment if you liked it or not, but I'm guessing you didn't. So sorry--I just thought it would be funny if Diamond thought Dori was a lass...this storyline is actually quite light-hearted. Besides, that's what she gets for looking in someone's personal tablet, right? ;-) Thanks for reading!

First, let me just say that I am THRILLED that you broke your word and extended the story! That made my day. I love these two stubborn hobbits! I liked Pimpernel's efforts to cover for Pip and most of her logic was very convincing. I also thought that Merry did a good job with his talk with Pippin. I loved this line:

(“That a lie from the pits of Mordor, and you know it,” said Merry)

I wonder if anyone will be able to get Diamond out of her room before Pippin's return now that she is thinking the worst? I wonder if Pimpernel will wind up giving away the secret? I wonder if Diamond will tell anyone about the note? In other words, I wonder how soon there will be more of this? LOL

Fantastic job and again, I am so glad that this story got longer.



Author Reply: I didn't mean to break it--but the chapter took on a life of its own. They are stubborn aren't they?? :-) Oh, there'll be more...but it will also be the last. All good things must come to an end. ;-) Thanks for reading!

Oy! Oy is right. I knew as soon as she walked into his room that she was going to see something that would lead her to some sort of false conclusion. I was a little surprised that it would be that she thinks he's two-timing her.

You sure threw in a last-minute plot twist there.:) Of course the course of love never runs smooth.

It is wonderful that both Pippin and Diamond have people around them who can calmly and lovingly remind them of the differences and simularities in their personalities, and the need for understanding each other's point of view in a relationship. I wish all of us had that.

Now I'm looking forward to how this all resolves itself.:)

Thanks.

Author Reply: LOL, I didn't mean for that wee plot to happen--the ending sort of took on a life of its own. It *is* near the end, trust me.

I wasn't too surprised at Diamond's supposition. Its not so much that she is not confident in *Pippin's* love for her, she's just not that confident in herself yet. I imagine Merry & Estella's and Pimpernel & Hilfred's road to marriage wasn't all smiles and roses, either, so they're able to lend a bit of sage advice.

I'm looking forward to writing it, too! :-) Talk to ya soon, take care.
