| That was entirely too funny! I loved every word of it. Merry was such a tease which is exactly what I would expect from Merry. I loved the fact that Paladin got in on it too with his line about the whip. Bravo yet again! Author Reply: Thank you, thank you, GW! The scene with Merry was new and has gone over well, I'm glad to say. I couldn't let Merry have all the fun ;) | |

| I love the idea of Merry and Paladin sitting there watching over Pippin and Diamond - chaperoning them as they sleep. And the morning teasing is well-deserved - Merry can't tease Diamond, so Pippin has to take it on the chin. It's probably a very good idea to go back to Bag End, but I reckon Eglantine is a hero to agree to it. Author Reply: For some reason, folks just seem to feel they need to watch over Pippin ;) He has a wonderful father and a wonderful first cousin. I think it was very hard for Lanti to not have them with her, to not get to be in the thick of things as she would otherwise. But, in my Shire she's a healer and she would know it is for the best. Thank you again, Bodkin, for reading and your kind responses. They mean a lot to me :) :) | |

| LOL!!! Go, Lanti! This chapter was particularly fantastic! I LOVED the teasing the Merry gave his Pippin! I didn't recall so much last time, but I thought it was beautifully done in this one. Pippin's reactaions to Merry's teasing was fabulous, and Merry acted all so naturally--I suppose he's had more experience at ribbing Pip, lol. The scene with Pippin and Diamond (just after the nose bleed, lol) was lovely. I think you can write romance extrememly well! Not too soppy, neither stiff. Exactly perfect. :-) Enjoyed it all! Pippinfan Author Reply: Aw, thank you, Pippinfan! You know how important the kind words on my writing romance are to me :) :) The whole bit with Merry was new, there was none at all in the original version. I'm glad it fit well :) | |

| Awww. What a chapter! My goodness, the "making sure" of Pippin's and Diamond's honour! I do think it's a good idea that they're going to leave the Great Smials. For a moment I thought the parents were going to propose that the wedding take place then-and-there! VWD! (Now I just need to go back and read all the previous chapters. Read this one out of order, but it was so well put-together I had no trouble picking up the threads.) Author Reply: That's quite the compliment, Lin, that you could skip some chapters and have things still make sense. Thank you :) The whispered conversation with Merry was one of the new additions, I'm glad it fit well :) | |
