| I hope Boromir is made to do his own mending when on campaign. I can just see him handing the task over to his Gondorian equivalent of a batman - and feeling smug that Nanny had been wrong. Or there would always be someone willing to boot-lick the Steward's heir by darning his socks! Good move on Nanny's part to send Boromir to speak to Denethor - and I'm not happy to see her picking up on his father's lower tolerance level of Faramir's wishes. Or, come to that, that Faramir will lose Nanny's support when he hits twelve. Twelve is too young to become a man. True, he won't need a Nanny then - but he will continue to need the love and support of a mother-figure. Faramir is a clever boy - and he will benefit (in the end) from his love of learning whatever there is to learn. While Boromir ... Nanny knows him better than anyone. Poor little duckling. Author Reply: *giggle* "Batman." I do know it's a proper term, I'm just a dork. :) I think I'll have a follow-up to this, though who knows when, because Boromir at least does learn to sew a straight line. I'm not happy to see her picking up on his father's lower tolerance level of Faramir's wishes. Honestly, I don't think she could avoid it. Of course she's very protective of the boys and gets annoyed if they're treated in a way she doesn't approve of by anyone, but she also doesn't get along with Denethor well. I think she's a bit hyper-aware of things he does with regards to his sons, and so probably couldn't miss Denethor cutting Boromir a bit more slack, in any measure. Thanks, Bodkin! | |

| I can just imagine Boromir not wanting to sew !A pity Denethor is already starting to favour his eldest. Author Reply: Hee, yes, it is hard to imagine Boromir sitting still long enough to sew! Thanks! | |

| Almost as thankless a task as trying to teach me plain sewing! Fancy stuff I do but darn my socks? *Shudder* Author Reply: Well, I can sew a straight line and put on buttons, but I can't imagine doing anything more complicated! Thanks! | |
