| These three hobbits really should not be in the same room together! I felt sorry for Farlibar in the first chapter, but no more, after all that revenge and now we get revenge on the revenge. Oh dear oh dear. Namarie, God bless, Aunty Anne :) Author Reply: Hello Aunty Anne, I know, they are not a good mixture - but they're not deliberately nasty to each other, emotions just tend to run high when they're in the same room... Thanks for dropping a review. All the best! Maureen :) | |

| *giggles* Oh what a funny story! Loved the interaction between Pip, Mer and the cook. Hope very much for more Chapters. Would love to read what the King has more to say to the development of his given orders. *L* Golden Author Reply: Grüß dich Golden, Thanks for your review. I'm delighted you're enjoying this. I'm trying to get another chapter up tonight (I'm writing it just now) but it may be tomorrow before I get this one finished. Hope you tune in for it! M :) | |

| LOLOL! Oh dear! Merry, Merry, Merry... I really loved the way you showed Farli's thought processes, as he went from feeling a bit sorry for the culprits who must've had their wits addled from their time Outside to his insufferable cockiness and rather unwise song! Good heavens! *shakes head* I don't know how those two and Farli will *ever* come to an accommodation--though I have a feeling that Strider will insist on it before all's said and done! | |

| They’re really not so grand Those queer folk from Buck-land No hobbit sense It’s all pretence Their heads are full of sand! ROTFL!!! I can understand that Merry got VERY angry when he heard this, but if you ask me, he deserved it! That was a great chapter. I especially liked the toy ants and Merry's plan for using them the get out. Well, they actually got out, but differently then they expected, I'm sure. Anyway, if you have ideas for another chapter, I will be eager to read it :) | |

| Ah! Yes, trust a Brandybuck and a Took to have tried two such schemes in the space of so short a time! Farlibar has every reason to make their lives a misery and to complain to the King himself! Alas, poor cook that he is! And I hope Aragorn takes it out of their hides the whole time he's laughing inside as much as I've been doing! Heh! Author Reply: Hello Larner, Always a pleasure (and honour) to hear from you! I'm so glad this made you laugh (inside or out!). And don't worry about poor Farlibar - justice is NOT a bag of flour, as Merry and Pippin will soon find out! I got a review from the wonderful Lindelea a day or two ago (for 'His dear, beloved Hobbit Elf'), and I can't tell you how excited I was: That the author who first inspired you should drop me a review... Ah the joys! Maureen (The not-really-a-stalker person) | |

| Another amazing chapter! I loved Farlibar's long varied forms of invective against the two miscreants (boot-loving Bucklander indeed!) as well as his initial punishment--chopping up onion with a teaspoon! The limericks were nicely in order as well, as well as his dithering between the need for respect for two gentlehobbits and righteous anger! And then Merry and Pippin half-turning on one another (Merry's reaction at realizing Pippin had had a knife with him all along was particularly priceless). Please to put a drink warning on this--if I had been having my tea right now it would currently be all over the keyboard! Quite possibly even funnier than the last. At this rate I don't think you need any encouraging to write more, but in case you do I'll put in my request anyway. Author Reply: Hello Celeritas! My goodness, what a fabulous review! Muchas gracias!! (My Spanish is non-existent). It was very gratefully received too; I was beginning to think the second chapter hadn't gone down as well as the first because there were no reviews (although, I'm not the most patient of people, which is why I update so often. I hate having to wait too long for the next chapter of a story myself, so I always imagine that's how others feel and post as quickly as I can to assuage my guilt). I can't tell you how much fun it was writing this chapter (so much that I stayed up 'til three in the morning finishing it) and thinking of the most offensive hobbity insults I could. Your comment about the drink warning was possibly one of the nicest remarks anyone has ever made on any of my fics! Writing this chapter, I could practically hear the three of them hurling curses at each other, so if it had such an effect on you I'm delighted! (Not that I want you choking on your tea...) Thanks for the vote of confidence on Chapter 3. I've an idea what I may put in it and there may be an appearance by Faramir (Snr) and/or Eowyn. Don't forget: Monday's up soon. I'm eagerly anticipating it. I want to see if Kira meets any real, live Dwarves (squeals in anticipation of a Dwarvish visit!). Thank you so much again for the lovely, lovely review! Maureen :) | |
