| I'm hoping for the kind of luck that leaves club-man alive and willing for questioning! | |

| The fat one is far smarter than club-wielder, it appears; and he's going to willingly sacrifice the fool. One less for Merry and Pippin to have to deal with. Am looking for some good in the boy, myself. Author Reply: The fat man is the brightest of the bunch, and he is intelligent, in a frightening way. And yes, the boy is still malleable, not formed and hardened to evil quite yet. | |

| It sounds as if of them is hoping to make his own luck and thereis, as always, little honour among these thieves. At least, having one fewer ruffian around, shoud make Pipin's job easier later. I like the sound of the bread dough on sticks can someone put butter and strwberry jam on mine please! *tummy rumbles reminding reviewer that she hasn't had breakfst yet!* | |

| The worst that could happen is pretty bad - but I suppose that, once you've looked that in the face... Merry and Pippin both need action now. Brooding will just remind them of just how much can go wrong when evil is doing its worst. The chief villain, on the other hand, does seem to be offering to do some of their job for them. Club wielder deserves a nasty fate - and he is being offered it in the guise of a big bag of gold. On the other hand, whining brother Red seems like one of those nasty kids that likes torturing kittens. I think the world can do without him. And I know what kind of luck I'm hoping for when it comes to Farry's captors. And it's not on their side. | |

| Lovely bunch, this lot. Though it does look as though they haven't quite got hobbits pegged properly. Author Reply: Not quite. I don't think they have much acquaintance with *hobbits*, at least of the Travellers' ilk. The ones who were in the Shire in Sharkey's time were used to cowed, obedient hobbits who were used to living in an orderly manner and thus meekly followed whatever Rules were going. The youth, who'd never met a hobbit before, has, well, never met a hobbit before. And the one who travelled in the Shire before the Troubles only met pleasant, friendly hobbits. So they're a little ignorant of their peril. There may be a few lessons learned before the day is over. Thanks! | |

| "The stupidest and most weak-willed" I think I said... Looks about like. And why should the leader of the Ruffians bother thinning out the sharers of the loot, when they are all too willing to do it themselves. Looks like Sam gets something to do after all. *evil grin* Poor Merry. Such work keeping Pippin's spirits up, and yet he himself is so vulnerable--I hope Pippin can spare a moment to help dispell his cousin's Shadows... Author Reply: Yes you did. I had to go back and look it up, but it was in a review of chapter 10. Did I ever tell you that you are a perceptive reader? *g* Couldn't leave Sam out of the action, poor fellow, not when he'd gone and got Sting and everything. He must be furious to contemplate ruffians so close to Bywater, which is so close to Hobbiton... and the Hill. Poor Merry. You know, I think it would take a superhuman effort for Pippin to pull himself out of his grief, at least at the moment. Do you think he's up to it? Of course, Pippin will be feeling better and more in control once they're following the trail and actually *doing* something constructive. It's the waiting that tears at the nerves. | |
