| This was so sad and haunting. Author Reply: It must have been so difficult for her to leave such young children behind, so I thought of her coming back after death to try to "finish her work" (at least in a symbolic way) by finishing the little jacket for Faramir. Thanks for reviewing! | |

| Aw; poor Denethor; losing the light and love of his life. The image of him sitting in her darkened chamber, holding the child's jacket she had worked on and vainly wishing her return, is agonizing. Very well done! Author Reply: I was thinking that the jacket had been intended for little Faramir. The children, of course, are her unfinished work. I am glad you liked this. | |

| How sad to think that not only Finduilas's ghost haunted the Steward's House, but the ghosts of her unborn (or even unconceived) children. This seems like such a companion piece to your story "The Household Accounts", where Eowyn and the housekeeper ponder the remnant of fabric just large enough for a little girl's dress. Such heartbreaking stories! Author Reply: I was thinking that the little jacket was intended for Faramir (because he was quite small when she died), but it could also have been for an expected child. She is such a sad figure, cut off so young, leaving so much undone (and the fates of her children and husband might have been happier if she had lived). Thanks for your kind comments! | |

| Ah, I, too, can see him wishing that.... Very sad. Author Reply: I think things would have gone very differently if she had lived. How he must have missed her. :-( Thanks for reviewing. | |
