| It seems only fitting that Hobbits are remembered in history for the very important things; music, dance, food, happiness. Charming! Author Reply: Hmm, I don't think I got food in there. An oversight! G.A. | |

| Sigh. You've gladdened my Faramirist heart with this quindrabble. Really excellent portrayal of Faramir, showing his thirst for knowledge, his understanding of all the facts and words he stuffs in his head, and his ability to take that knowledge and use it to come up with new concepts as well understanding the old. His recognition that the history of Arnor now belongs to Gondor as the two realms born of Numenor's children unite once more is very typical of the character. I imagine Faramir would be delighted to spend the entire day in the dusty archives; and he'll be even more pleased to have his desire to clean it up carried out - Gondor, coming out of the shadows of war and Mordor's threat, can once more embrace the love of lore. And a hobbit dance with the Steward partnering Pippin - wonderful touch. A great birthday gift, thanx much, G.A. Author Reply: I always love meeting your birthday prompts! Faramir is a joy to write, especially with Pippin. G.A. | |

| I love the picture of Faramir and Pippin dancing the Springle Ring. And the two of them in the library seeking out hobbit history. Author Reply: Two of my favorite characters--it's so nice they're friends. G.A. | |

| Ah, how wonderful the image--finding the illustration in the book and then teaching the dance to Faramir! Oh, a marvel, GA! Author Reply: and then spreading it throughout the seven circles....thanks for reading! G.A. | |

| Oh you really have such a gift for turning the mood of a piece. This is marvellous GA. I can just see and smell the dust and to see Faramir learning the Springle-Ring is great! Author Reply: Thanks! I like the challenge of telling a story in a set length. This one is exactly 500 words--a bit long for a real challenge, but Raksha wanted something specific for her birthday (Faramir on history, languages, music, lore). G.A. | |

| I've just read this on HASA as well. Lovely ficlet. I particularly love Pippin's comment: “They all have the same name,” Pippin said. “Ar-this, Ar-that, and Ara-something.” “Do you know why?” “Lack of imagination?” Wonderful! And the image of Faramir and Pippin dancing the Springle-ring together (a pretty dance, but rather vigorous) is priceless. Thank you for this. Jay Author Reply: I've got this image in my head of couples all through the seven circles dancing....sounds fun. Thanks for reviewing! G.A. | |

| I can just imagine someone coming across Faramir and Pippin dancing their way through the dusty archives! A lovely image. Author Reply: Let's hope they didn't knock over too many stacks of books.... G.A. | |
