| Lindelea! I loved this story in which Farry (I hope) learns some hard lessons about how his actions have consequences. Stay Safe ((hugs)) MM Author Reply: Thank you! I think you'll see that he did learn something about consequences and looking before he leaps (rather than the other way around). I hope this finds you well! ((hugs)) | |

| It's me again! Oh, I knew that you would not let anything dreadful happen to Ferdi, but still... *sniffles* Good that it ended well, at least for him. I'm looking forward to seeing more about Faramir! Nienor Author Reply: Hullo, again, and welcome! Poor Ferdi, the Muse and I have put him through a great deal, I fear. But he has the happiest marriage of any hobbit I can imagine (save, perhaps, Samwise) and so I suppose he's got all he ever wanted, in the end. Whew. | |

| Very clever of you to start the story about Pippin's firstborn, Faramir, and end it with Ferdi's. I didn't figure out the double-meaning of the title until now. I'm pleased Pippin did finally go to his son, and I'm pleased Faramir was sorry, even if he knew it did no good. Intentions matter, and in a proper family, you may hate the deed but you still love the doer. The scene with the dog was quite funny. Tolkien writes from the fox's point of view once, so I guess you can write from the dog's. And, no proper hobbit belongs in the water, we all know that now. The reunion was properly joyful, though Ferdi got in some of his trademark wit and I don't think he will have the last word with Nell. If you do write a story between here and 'Down and Out,' I would be interested in seeing Faramir's point of view (in hindsight) of this whole incident. Good story! | |

| Oh my heart! You have got to stop doing this to me! (Wait-forget I said that:) I was in real mourning for Ferdi. Thank goodness he could swim! | |

| All's well that ends well. I knew that Ferdi couldn't die! (He has to be in the sequels!) I thought that you had already written a sequeal to this story-"Down and Out" and "At the End of His Rope." I'm off to read those now! (But, if you want another sequel, I certainly wouldn't mind!) Poor Ferdi! Having to face his wife now...*shuddder*. Although I suppose she will forgive him when she finds out what happens...of course she could also kill the Thain for not telling her. :) Anyway, thank you for many enjoyable readings, (And, today is my birthday, and this last chapter was a magnificent present! Thank you!) Author Reply: Happy Birthday, Miriel! And many happy returns. Well, technically, the stories you mentioned are sequels. "Down and Out" is the next one in sequence, then the new story which is outlined and in the process of being written, is called "Runaway", and then "At the End of His Rope". Yes, I have not yet imagined the scene where Pimpernel learns the truth... You are most welcome. Thanks for the reviews! It helps to know I am not the only one reading these stories. | |
