| What a classic way to start a story. I anticipate Kira's adventures in Buckland will be interesting and take many turns. Moving on to the next chapter! :D Author Reply: Gosh, I wish I'd noticed these as you were reviewing because then I could have given you replies along the lines of "wait and see"... Although Kira didn't really get out much, she certainly did get up to a lot in Buckland! | |

| An interesting start. I always find it a little hard to get into stories that are set long after the canon events, but I think I'll give this a try. Author Reply: Oh, thanks for stopping by, Annette! I do hope you'll enjoy the tale, even though it's set so long after canon. I try my best to weave in enough canony tidbits to keep interest high, though. | |

| Hello fellow newbie!! Found your story and loved this line: “But Tom says they’re queer on the other side of the River.” You've got to love those suspicious Hobbits! Am looking forward to more of this, so see you later. Maureen. Author Reply: Glad you've liked what you've seen so far--I'm actually just getting around to reviewing your new stuff (and replying... if such a "chatty" thing is allowed, to some of the points in your reply!). One of my favorite bits in early Fellowship was finding the Bywater hobbits and Buckland hobbits saying the exact same thing about each other, and I've assumed that such prejudices--especially among children who like teasing their friends--haven't changed too much over 120 years. | |

| An interesting beginning. I feel for the child... leaving loved ones for a stranger's home is not fun, even for an adult. Author Reply: All depends on your outlook--I was a bit of an intrepid Tookish explorer when younger (and still tend toward it now), but for most hobbits it's probably the worst thing that could happen to you. Thanks for reading! | |

| An epidemic, eh? Poor child! Hope it's not too hard on her, being so far from home. Author Reply: "Epidemic" may actually be a bit harsh--if there's a word that means "illness just passing through the area" in English I haven't heard/remembered it. Unfortunately "plague" conjures up notions of people dying left and right, so I just shortened the more Latiny equivalent as best I could and crossed my fingers. It may be a little dangerous for Kira's friends, but not enough to get her worried about their health (see next chapter). Unfortunately Kira's weak constitution puts her in more danger, which is why she's leaving. As for what she finds in Buckland... well... | |
