| Awww, Boromir-Pippin friendship! *melts into a puddle* That gets me every time. I've begun to work myself through your stories, and it's such a delight to find so many tales about my favourite Man of Gondor. | |

| Oh, I am enjoying this very much! I just came across it and I must say, I love your Pippin. I also enjoy stories that have Boromir and Pippin or Merry developing a friendship during the Quest. I also find the idea of Ted and Pippin as friends very interesting. It would have made things so much more difficult for Pippin later when he found out about Ted's part in the troubles back in the Shire. Also Pippin would have been the sort to trust Ted even if others weren't very fond of him. Off to read more. Author Reply: The sight of the mill, I think, would be just too intriguing to Pippin - so there begins the friendship... Oh - I like that thought - about Pip & Ted at the end - what a mess! | |

| This is wonderful! I love their calling each other "Master Steward" and "Master Thain". And I like that Pip is as good a listener as he is a talker. Very Well Done! Author Reply: I loved it too - when the thought came to me... though they both know they are not yet - they will be - as far as they know... And it adds some levity to the grim things that are all about them! Something to chuckle over! Who would have thought Pip could listen! I did for doesn't he do that while they are 'following' Frodo before he leaves the Shire. Thanks for reading and especially for commenting! | |

| Ooo, this is off to a good start! Please say you'll archive this at The Blue Book: Boromir's Journal? Author Reply: When I finally have the whole thing done - It's going to be short, compared to most of my other stuff. And I'm thinking of changing the title too. We'll see what happens. Glad you are enjoying this! | |

| I consider you brave. To have left your world to step out into another for the love of a friend, that is most brave This is just lovely. I really enjoy reading about the members of the Fellowship getting to know one another, and Pippin and Boromir are just delightful here. Author Reply: Shirebound, You have always been one of my most favoritest 'Hobbit' authors. I most appreciate your acceptance of this tale. AND - I most appreciate your noticing that small section. It is my favorite. So far. | |

| Pippin's quite sweet in this, and I can see him and Boromir finding their positions something they have in common. You might want to take note that Ted Sandyman lived in Hobbiton--not really close enough to Tuckborough for him to be a regular playmate of Pippin unless Pippin was visiting Frodo. Also, Merry was really the first one to notice Frodo's behavior and start the Conspiracy. But I like the bonding between Boromir and Pippin, and hope that you will continue on with this--it's a friendship not examined often enough. Author Reply: Thanks ever so much Dreamflower - I most appreciate your kind words in this endeavor of mine. As for Ted Sandyman - yes, I know he lived in Hobbiton and Pip lived quite some ways away, and it was during his 'numerous' visits to Bag End that the 'odd' friendship began, AND I had thought of mentioning it, but other things got in the way. I can just imagine Pip being driven past the mill and his eyes just buggin out at the thought of exploring it! LOL It was Merry? Well, I'll correct that - but I swore it was Sam who finally thought they should 'do' some serious detective work. If the muse (and the Lord Denethor) allow, I hope to continue this for at least another couple of installments. Again, many thanks for your kind words and gentle correction. | |

| This is a very nice story. You are doing really well writing hobbits even though they are not your usual subjects. Just to let you know, Pippin and Merry are first cousins on Pippin's Father's side and Merry's Mother's. I will definitely be following this story. I am really enjoying it. Author Reply: Thank you, Mistress Took - high praise from soneome who should know, much more than this humble writer, about the Took Clan. I MOST appreciate your note about the cousinship - my sources had said it was on Pip's mother's side. I will make the correction! And THANK YOU so much for reading and responding. Let's see what the muse does. I have had an abidding love for the sense of comaraderie that I have felt between Boromir and the 'Halflings' - but mostly I love the idea of him and Pip - what with Pip's 'joining' the army of Gondor. There was something special beetween the two, I think... *heavy sigh* | |

| I think that you did very well with Pippin. And I like this comparison between the two. Author Reply: I have to laugh, harrowcat, for I thought the idea of the thain and the steward's positions being linked was totally my own. As you can see by the note at wikipedia, someone else thought the same! LOL - Forgive my audacity. | |
