| Doesn't every family have at least one older member who can put "the fear' in the youngsters with just a look? Your Tooks seem very real and familiar. | |

| Yes, waste not, want not, indeed. And I look forward to this one being updated. Author Reply: Finally updated, and only a little more than a month between chapters. Only! And still waiting for my editor-friend to give me back my "Thain". It's a busy time of year for her, when school starts back up. (For us all, actually. But when is it *not* busy?) | |

| Apples are to be taken gently in hand, plucked with tender firmness from the parent tree, and laid with their fellows to sleep for the short journey to the storage caverns where they will spend the winter, fetched for apple tart or apple sauce or baked apple or apple cake or any number of delights, until the last of them, wrinkled with age, give up their sweetness at last, not long before the new harvest. This is beautiful Lindelea. You make my mouth water and long for Autumn. It is still so hot here! Waste not, want not indeed! Who knows what the future will bring. Author Reply: Is it cooler now? It is certainly apple-time here, though we were busy when the local nursery had its apple festival with thirty or so different kinds of apples for the tasting and fresh-pressed cider. Mmm. Now I'm getting thirsty-hungering for a juicy crisp-crunch. And no apples to be found in the house. Guess I'd better bestir myself and do the weeks grocery shopping. | |

| Good for Fortinbras's Da. I'm rather pleased that he splatted Isengrim and that Gerontius seems better. And they definitely don't want to waste a single apple. Not this year. Not since Gerontius is about to be proved right. Author Reply: Too true. I don't think Fortinbras' Da believes his father, any more than the others, but he can see the good sense in being prepared for a harsher winter than usual. After all, if you put away extra food that's not needed, you can have extra feasting when all is said and done. Very practical hobbit, he is. He'll make a good Thain someday. | |

| And now we see the thoughts of another heedless young tween, but one who somehow has been left with rather more to think about than usual after a scolding. He is not yet able to put the peices together, but he is beginning to see that the picture the puzzle shows is a mighty disturbing one. I did so love his cheerful unrepentance at the end--one can't really keep a young Took down for long, and I can certainly see where Pippin got a lot of his cheekiness! Author Reply: LOL, yes, those Tooks! They are such fun to write. | |
