| This just gets better. The bottom has just dropped out of their world and each is reacting to protect the others - very nicely done! | |

| Poor Seledrith. This must be the most appalling shock for her - her sweet kind husband so close to the end of a rope. And Pippin is distressingly serious here. I'm betting Diamond wishes she'd never opened her mouth at the moment. And I am crossing fingers and toes that Aragorn behaves with his legendary wisdom and remembers that Jack saved Pippin and Sam's sons - when he didn't have to - and that he behaved with courage and fortitude in the Shire when he didn't have to, as well. Save that conjuror! Over the years he has often proved his worth to the hobbits of the Shire. I only hope it's enough. Author Reply: You're right. This is a terribly appalling shock for Seledrith, and I fear as a result she's not acting very reasonable at the moment (working in a future chapter right now) As for Diamond, and Pippin... well, don't let me get started. Lucky for Jack and Will (and probably Rob) that Aragorn is Aragorn and not, say, Denethor (Steward of Gondor, not Denny). Author Reply: And let's just say that Pippin has good reason to be serious. Whew. | |

| As the King is here in the north now, and as Pippin is also here, and considering the judgment given to Beregond, I suspect Jack has little to fear. Of course, he probably doesn't know the judgment given to Beregond. I pity the wife, and all of them for their fear, which I suspect, knowing our Lord Elessar, is unnecessary. Author Reply: The story would certainly end quickly and rather boringly if Jack, Will and Rob thought there was little to fear. The King has issued an edict--I wonder how much latitude he gives himself? He didn't enter the Shire himself, the year he came to meet his friends at the Bridge. I think JRRT made a point of that, but don't remember now where I read it. By rights Jack and Will could be taken directly to the gallows (do not pass "Go"). But with the King in town, and Pippin involved, I don't think that such a predictable thing will happen. Whew. We're already in the fourth revision, and counting. It's not even predictable to the author and editor! | |
