| I’m so pleased you’ve updated at last! Wonderful description of the Fair and of the children. Somehow I suspect I know just *why* Boromir bought all these comfortable things *grin* And it was so sweet they bought the dress for Saro. Pippin’s way of getting her to accept it was a bit obvious, at least for someone who knows of Boromir’s feelings, but it worked, didn’t it? *lol* Author Reply: Thank you so much for your review, it means so much to me to know my story is being read. Yes, Pippin's gambit was very obvious to a certain Brandybuck as well as to Boromir. Part of the fun in writing that scene was imagining the horror on the faces of Boromir and Merry. I also liked writing Pippin as being just a tad flirtatious (while still being mannerly) in convincing Saro to accept his gift. Boromir's purchases have been fun, too. However, they are also telling in that he is now physically and truly taking root in his new home. Which is a device, true, but one which is needed for the story to ring true. His birthright guaranteed him to be born a pampered little Lord (my mental images of his infancy and childhood are vivid) so naturally he would want some of the finer comforts of life in his new home. There is more fun afoot as he persues his interest in Saro, so stay tuned... | |

| I love the wee urchins getting their treats and coin. And that clever Took! How can the gift look suspect in such a situation? Most excellently well done :) Author Reply: I'm so pleased you liked it amd am working on the nexr one now. (You know how special your opinion is to me!) I think you'll love it! Shakespearian devices and romance shall abound! love and hugs, Pipkin | |

| So wonderful to see this updated at last. About time! And of course Pippin would know about planting seeds and getting the harvest started! And love his plan! Devious as any Elf or Northern Dunedan! Author Reply: Thank you so much! My beta Lindelea has been busy wil real life, and so hve I! But the next one is already in the works, and Boromir will have to win his love on his own merits at the dance. I loved the humor in this last chapter, and I'm afraid I have fallen in love with little Holly, so you'll see her again. Again, thanks for your review!
