| Inkling, this tale is delightful so far. Your style is so smooth and so readable. Abelard is an engaging, homespun protagonist. I don't even care whodunnit at this point. I'm having too much fun experiencing Shire life through your characters. - Steff Author Reply: Hi Steff! I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. This was my first attempt at first-person narrative and I found it kind of tricky, so it’s really nice to hear that you like the style, and Abelard’s character. Thanks for reviewing! | |

| At first I rather thought that Frodo was covering for Merry, but now I'm not so sure. This is a great story. Author Reply: Well, my aim is to keep you guessing! *grin* Thanks for the feedback! | |

| So, Abie is going to investigate? Great! I like that post-hobbit very much. Your description of aunt Dora was wonderful. Poor Frodo, though ;-) Such was the force of command in her voice that I found myself squaring my own shoulders and lifting my chin…and I could see Bilbo doing the same. LOL!!! I can very well imagine that! Now, I'm still suspecting that Merry has *something* to do with the mushroom affair. But what? Well, Abie will find it out. I trust in his investigation skills more than he does ;-) Author Reply: My grandmother used to make me sit up straight, and even though she’s long gone, bless her, just her memory can still get me to do it! I was thinking of her when I wrote that bit… Abie is rather a reluctant detective, but he just may rise to the occasion! Thanks for reviewing! | |

| It sounds like Abelard has been given a sign, LOL! I did get a kick out of your Aunt Dora! Even more formidable than mine, I daresay--poor Frodo and Bilbo! As for Merry, well, I'm sure Frodo is trying to protect him from *something*--but what? And I hope that Abelard will find plenty of clues out at the farm. I'm really looking forward to more of this tale! Author Reply: I’m finding Dora a fun character to write, as I think you have too! She has some more good scenes later in the story. Thanks and hope you like the rest! | |

| Aha! A means to visit the premises, then! Wonderful! Looking forward to learning what Abie learns. And LOVE the description of Lardo. Sounds as if he was aptly named, then! Heh! Author Reply: Well, as someone—Dernhelm?—said, “Where will wants not, a way opens.” And so it has for Abie. And as for Lardo…the name was just too tempting to resist! Thanks, Larner. | |
