| I enjoyed this story. I've never seen this kind of idea in a LOTR fan-fic before. Thank you for posting it. I look forward to reading more of your work. | |

| Ah--she wished only for the passage to be opened one last time and for her identity to be returned to her, perhaps? Lovely! Author Reply: Yep, that's what she wanted - she wanted to be remembered. Thanks for reading! | |

| Well done, Lily! Is there another ghost story to follow? I'm glad they could help Daisy. I hope they put a plaque or something there so she and the others aren't forgotten again. Author Reply: So far there is no other story planed, though I left myself that option open. I will see where the muses take me. I think they might have put something there to keep Daisy and the rest in their minds. Well, at least those present will never forget - and Merry will definitely tell his son so that the future Master will know as well - and will never be that foolhardy as Gormadoc. Thanks a lot for reading and commenting. | |

| That was a great ending, Lily! So her name was Daisy Greenhill. And she just wanted her tragedy to be remembered and "brought to the light", so to speak! Paladin and Pippin shared the same vision, whereas Frodo probably didn't see but felt it. A different kind of Sight, but nevertheless remarkable. “You’ve got too much Took blood in you, scallywag,” Merimac said and clapped the tween’s back. “Stick to us Brandybucks. Stick to sense.” LOL!!! I'm not quite sure, if Merimac realised immediately that the word "sense" has more than one meaning ;-) Author Reply: Nope, Merimac certainly did not realise that "sense" had various meanings. But it's nonetheless a good advice for Frodo to trust his senses... all of them. For Daisy everything happened so quickly, I don't think she even realised at the very beginning that she was dead - she just felt lonely. I can imagine her wanting to play with the children of the Hall but, though some of them might have felt her presence, none of them ever saw her - until Paladin, and later Pippin, came along. Frodo does have some sort of Sight but it is not the one of the Tooks, even though it is very similar. I think it only fully developped once he got the Ring, but the ability itself must have been there from the very beginning - I even have some hints in Schicksalsjahre eines Hobbits. Thanks for reading! | |

| This is a lovely ending to the story. I'm glad they finally discovered the truth and learned about Daisy Greenhill and did what was necessary to make her happy. I liked Merimac's advice to Frodo at the end - “Stick to us Brandybucks. Stick to sense.” LOL! Your last line has me wondering...is there a plot bunny in there? What ghost is Pippin going to hunt? *curious* Author Reply: I think for Merimac all this Sight business is a bit too dubious. He's more the practical kind and I think he wouldn't want to lose his "baby cousin" to something as weird and inexplicable as Took Sight. I'm very happy you enjoyed the story. | |
