| Ah--have been waiting for this one. Excellent indeed. And glad that Ferdi is realizing that perhaps the coming trip to Gondor isn't quite as awful an ordeal as he'd envisioned! And so glad to see the other baby born! Little Gwesthiel sounds lovely! Author Reply: Ah, yes, the trip to Gondor oughtn't to be an awful ordeal. But of course when a teen is in charge (in more ways than one), interesting things can happen. (And Farry, unfortunately, probably will outrank everyone else on the trip...) Thank you! | |

| Bravo! Bravo! Happiness and joy abounding with Hobbits and Men together again. *sigh* A wonderful sight in my mind's eye. Thank you :) Author Reply: You're welcome, and thank *you* for coming along for the ride and dropping me notes of cheer along the way. | |

| Oh, joy. I'm so pleased that the hobbits intend their proclamations to be more than token. Gwill/Jack badly needs to spend time in the Shire. And Seledrith seems to be looking on the prospect with amazement and delight. It will do the Shirefolk good to see certain selected men - and women and babies - now that the bad days are getting to be no more than a bad memory. Ferdi's not so sure about the Gondor trip - but he is getting accustomed to the idea. And he does need this. Probably more than Farry. His experience has made him strong, but not open to new things - and, if he is to become the hobbit he can be, he needs to get over this parochial blinkered-ness. Lovely penultimate chapter of a very stressful, yet delightful story. And Jack gets to go back to the Shire. Yeah! Go him. Lovely, lovely, lovely. So enjoyable. And the tailor has become a Counsellor. And Denny is the daddy of a darling daughter. (Love the reverse cooing about the hugeness of the baby! And Pippin's satisfaction with the food as opposed to the nouvelle cuisine of Minas Tirith.) Author Reply: Jack and the Shire just seem to go so well together, like butter on bread. Although there's not a chapter in this story about it, somehow I think that the family living in Bag End are in for a treat, a real Prancing Pony breakfast surprise. So glad you enjoy your prize. (How awful, if you didn't!) The tailor becoming a Counsellor was from a review--yours? I need to look back through the feedback to make sure, and then will put a note in the "Notes" to that effect. Thanks! | |

| I would have loved to have been at this party. I loved the contrast between the food there and palace feasts in Minas Tirith!!! And I am glad to see that Gandalf's old room is going to get some new visitors. Author Reply: Sounds like my kind of party. Good food in plenty, music that makes you want to dance, a mix of adults and children eating and talking and dancing--hmmm. Sound a lot like the free concerts held at a local farm in the summertime. | |

| *sigh* What a lovely party! How wonderful to hear the arrangements for Gwill to come to the Shire in the summertime! And I have to confess to sqee-ing out loud when you mentioned Gandalf's old guest room! (I suppose that's where Legolas stays on his occasional Shire visits as well.) This was just beautiful. I adored Pippin's description of the cuisine of Minas Tirith, LOL! Well, I'd say a good deal more, but I'm off to run an errand! I really look forward to reading about Ferdi and Farry visiting the South,though! Author Reply: I sort of wondered what happened to Gandalf's old room, and then it occurred to me that it might be kept "as is" as a sort of memorial, just in case a visiting wizard should pop in. So far as I know, Radagast is still in Middle-earth, after all... Thanks! | |
