| It seems very convincing that Denethor will experiment with the baby. Over-controlling, busy and tired father finds himself a way to be interested in a small child. "Early development", indeed. And it worked :) Author Reply: I keep finding comments I've forgotten to reply to! And yep, I can definitely see Denethor wanting to test out his theories on child-raising on his kids. Imagine how controlling he could have been if he hadn't been Steward. Thanks! | |

| "Thank you, my little one," I murmured, stroking his delicate skin, marveling, as always, at the perfection of it. "One day you will know the joy of sons, and of the peace they can bring a troubled heart." I found this part, and the end, where Denethor is watching the infant Faramir sleep, very poignant. It's an ironic and tragic counterpart to the end of Denethor's life, when he watches Faramir sleep under far different, and terrible, circumstances, and it drives him finally over the edge. Brrrr! I kind of hope that one day Nanny will tell the adult Faramir that his father did indeed love him once, and watched over him. Author Reply: Thank you! Honestly, Ann helped me a lot with this chapter, getting Denethor right. I have the inclination to make him overly harsh. But it was certainly interesting for me to purposely set out to find the kinder side of Denethor. | |
