| Isn't it sad that the Hobbits have a caste system too. Farry and Goldi should be allowed to marry. She's such a good person. | |

| Oh, I love Goldi-Mouldi and Harry-Farry! All by itself this sums up easy familiarity of long acquaintance and affectionate acceptance. But this is a time of life when old relationships get re-evaluated, and of necessity change into one thing or another entirely. Goldi and Farry have just started the questioning, and anything could happen. And here we have evidence of another conspiracy. Either Sam or Pip could have started it, but it's likely they both have their fingers into the stopping of mail. Did they really think they could get away with something like this without being caught? Were they actually naive enough to think if their kids didn't write for a summer they would just forget each other? Didn't they know the surest way to drive two people together is to try to keep them apart? Today they're both being thick! I also liked Goldi's sense of responsibility when she thought Farry had slipped his escort. After all, it's a Tookish thing to do! But I wonder about Tolly here. Did he not suspect Goldi would be in the vicinity of Bag End, and did he not think Faramir might go looking for her? Will he be in trouble for allowing the meeting, and a chance for the secret to come out, or does he have an inner sympathy for the yougsters? He doesn't say much, so it's hard to tell. Another brilliant appearance by Ferdi. He's heightened his senses of hearing to make up for the lack of seeing, and now he's not only Pip's memory, he's his lie detector as well. He's not sensitive to the unknowing offhand remark from Linden about blindness, but he catches a little at the sentence of shunning, even for only two months. The memory of old hurts is more damaging than his current disability. I bet the lie-detector mode comes in handy when questioning children about pranks - perhaps that will come into play here? Is it true this story is only to be nine chapters long? I feel cheated, somehow! | |
