| Oh,no! And here I thought the boy finally had got things right and would untie them. Hm... Don't like the way this is going (well, I do of course since I love the story, but I would like to see the hobbits freed, especially since Ferdi is hurt) | |

| Very interesting, Lin! "‘Halflings!’ the boy said. ‘But I’ve heard of Halflings! Great warriors, they are, whose faces shine with goodness; and doers of great deeds.’ He peered from one hobbit to the other. ‘You don’t look a bit like Halflings.’" I love that! The "great warrior" hobbits hadn't really looked the part either, LOL :) | |

| Halflings as great warriors ... Well, they must seem bigger in imagination after all the tales told about them. And Ferdi might be in pain, but he's got all his wits about him. The child seems a lot sharper than his brother - and he's very defensive of him. But he's been filled with tales of the Little Folk. Little does he realise that good fortune might indeed come in the persons of these two. And bad fortune could follow, too. | |

| I just *love* this! I've been looking forward to hearing of Farry and Ferdi's visit to the South, and now we get a little taste of it! I do hope that RL allows you some writing time again sometime soon--but if it doesn't,I'll be satisfied with the crumbs. I thought the device in the beginning, leaving the reader to wonder if it was Merry and Pippin or someone else, was extremely clever. And when I discovered that one of the cousins was Farry, I suddenly realized when the story was set! Poor Tooks, captured by those who have their heads full of legends about "little folk" with treasure. Not only that, but the only previous encounter in the family was years ago, with Gollum (clever, that! by the way.) so of course there isn't going to be much trust there. And just what does the lad think that halflings do look like? He clearly has not listened all that well to the tales of the Quest--to full up with tales of treasure, I dare say. And poor Ferdi. Hurt. Again. I'm really enjoying this! | |

| I can hear Ferdi's thoughts - "Doer of great deeds? No, that's his Da, and if you don't let us go he'll set Troll's Bane in you when he finds out!" Seriously though, it's not too many years since those great deeds, and the stuff of legend already. But now you've got me worried about Pip-lad, and who's got him, not to mention the missing guardsman and one crochety old former steward who's supposed to be along. Will the hobbits be rescued, or will they manage to free themselves using just their wits? | |

| Too normal looking to be taken for Frodo, are they? Oh, how wonderful! I love it, Lindelea! He's heard of Halflings, so at least they do have a chance. The fact they're barefoot and have hairy feet at that does work to their favor, even if they aren't as fair as the Baggins cousin. Thanks for the giggles this morning--I NEEDED them! | |

| Oh, I'm so glad the hobbits are getting a chance to explain themselves. And what an appropriate St. Pat's day fic! | |
