| "'Frodo!' Merry and Pippin chorused. 'Hush!' Frodo said. 'Look, he's turning red,' Merry said to his cohort in cheek." I love this bit-I'm not entirely sure why exactly, I think maybe because I see it as being in character with the "original" Frodo, Merry and Pippin. :) Thanks! Author Reply: LOL! It is funny how people live up to their names, somehow... Thanks for stopping by! | |

| Oh, gosh...I've read this before, but I never noticed when Sam said "Don't thank me, thank the one you're named for." That line almost me me cry!!!!!! Sam seemed to have changed in this story at first. He seemed to care more about status than he usually did, as did Pippin, but I see that they're just doing what's expected for them. Poor Sam!! He's really suffering inside after Frodo left for the havens!! Good job, Lindelea! I can't wait for updates!! Author Reply: Thanks, Samwisegirl! I appreciate your taking time to review. It is difficult, living in a tradition-bound society, to break out of the mould. Even the Thain must live within the constraints dictated by tradition, for the most part... People surely can make your life uncomfortable if you go outside the bounds of their expectations, can't they? | |

| Poor Goldi! Its almost torture to read about the happenings of others but her situation xtays the same. *Sigh.* Can hardly wait for the next chapter! Author Reply: I know, she probably thinks she'll end an old maid... | |

| Yippee! Frodo-lad's got Daisy Burrows to distract him from being over-protective of his sisters. I've been waiting for Frodo to gain some personal experience of the trials of young love, as his concern (meddlings) with his sisters' love-lives has been to the point of annoyance at times; but now I hope nothing bad will happen while he's not there to watch out. He's so cute, all dressed fine and slicked up. Things aren't going to run perfectly smooth for him, are they? That wouldn't be fun enough! This is a wonderful, light-hearted interlude, full of honest hobbit goodness. But it does show that Sam's family is more homey and down-to-earth than the great families at the Smials or Buckland. Too bad Goldi isn't benefiting from the change in mood. Just because her cloth is homespun, it doesn't mean it wouldn't blend with the finer weaves. I know true love will win out in the end, but she's so sad! Sam sees his children are growing up, and he wants to put everything in place. Sam's got a very traditional mindset here. I'm sure he always assumed that Elanor would marry and his son would carry on the tradition of having a Frodo, if not a Baggins, as master of Bag End. He won't ever let Frodo be forgotten, and I love him for it. His passing on of the inheritance, so to speak, to Frodo-lad is going to make the youngster think even harder about settling down. I wouldn't mind being a guest at another hobbit wedding, sometime in the future. Looking forward to the next update. Author Reply: Another hobbit wedding? Hmmmm, interesting idea... | |
