The worst possible situation for this news to be delivered, of course! Alas, poor Ollie, to be forced to bring this word! Hurry, Merry and Pippin! Author Reply: Poor Pippin. His clever plan rather backfired on him, I'm afraid. He'd arranged the largest possible crowd to stand witness to Ferdi's loyalty, and instead... | |

Oh, this is dreadful! Poor Pippin, to have to hear it like that! At least they'll be on their way soon! But--who?? Author Reply: Well, the next chapter is up and ought to answer the question of who is on the way. A mini-muster, and a healer (for Pippin's sake, of course) and Master and Mayor, though they haven't had much to say in the last half of the chapter, and some engineers and I think they've even hauled along the kitchen sink, just to round things out nicely. | |

Your dialogue is so wonderful. I mean, just the little exchanges between Diamond and Pippin...I'm jealous. Author Reply: Well thank you! It is nice when the Muse is in a good mood and the dialogue flows. I blame a good deal of it on a misspent youth, copious reading when I ought to have been doing other things. But it certainly came in handy when it came to writing, eventually. *g* | |

At least leaving word of their route, like all good travellers, means that the alarm is raised pretty quickly. Now, I can't belive that M & P are going to start jumping to conclusions, again! but, unfortunately, this is rather a public forum for them to hear this news. And poor Diamond! I bet all she can think is 'not again!' Am away for a week and my internet lead isn't long enough to take it with me so looking forward to more when I get back Author Reply: Yes, they left word of their route, and even had planned stops, it seems, with trusted farmers, witnesses in other words, to Ferdi's innocence and dedication to his duty. Or witnesses in case something were to go wrong, I guess. Was Pippin showing a lack of trust, here, or was he bending over backwards to re-establish Ferdi's reputation? Away for a week! Hope you have a lovely time, and will look forward to hearing from you later. | |

See! What did I say last time? Horrid nasty elipsis!!! All that lovely hobbit chat and banter. A lovely hobbit teatime. All ruined by those horrid elipsis! Poor Pip. I'm sure he's going to be in quite a terrible state. Escepially when they find poor dead Farry and Ferdi . . . . . . well at the rate they're going to get there. LOL Marvelously done suspense :) Well and truly well done!! Author Reply: O but you did give me a turn! Finding poor dead Farry and Ferdi, indeed! Has EF been talking to you? As it is, chapter six ran long, so they won't be finding poor dead anybody until chapter 7. Thanks for hanging in there! | |
