| History Becomes Legend and Legend Fades into Myth - also tall tales and gossip. Poor Frodo Gardner, who knew the truth of the matter, I imagine he was biting his tongue the whole time. Nicely done and very hobbity! Author Reply: Oh, I'm certain he spent a good deal of time, at least that day, biting his tongue, Raksha! Am glad you feel it is Hobbity. Thanks so! | |

| *lol* That Dedoro is as bad as Ioreth, isn't he? What a monologue! And quite dense, if you ask me. Really, did it ever occur to him to compare what he heard or knows about the Travellers to what he heard about these legends? He's talking about Lord Iorhael losing his finger and in the next moment about Frodo returning with only nine fingers - and didn't stop one moment to think about such an odd coincidence? *shakes head* And of course, the fact that he was talking to Sam's eldest at the moment was the icing on the cake. Author Reply: Oh yes! And as blockheaded a Bracegirdle as one can be! Given the theme of "myth" to write to, once I'd finally figured out how to include apricots this seemed to write itself, as one thinks on how fact fades into legend and myth. And this one is one who helps in the process, I fear. Thanks so very much, Kitty! | |

| Dedoro really is being a block-headed Bracegirdle, isn't he? Not capable of putting two and two together, even though he knows Frodo lost a finger during his time away. Poor Frodo Gardner - he managed to keep his opinions to himself with great restraint. It just goes to show how quickly history can be turned into myth. Author Reply: Oh, yes, I'd say among the most blockheaded of Bracegirdles indeed! And he is refusing to even consider what he was told might be true! As for Frodo-lad, he is being long-suffering, at least at the moment. When one doesn't quite believe what one is being told, it's easy for the stories to pass into legend and myth, I suppose. Thanks so, Baggins Babe. | |

| Wow! That hobbit was even more talkative than Barliman Butterburr ;-) "History becomes legend, and legend fades into myth", indeed! But at a frightening speed! Although Sam, Merry and Pippin are still around, most of the hobbits refer to Bilbo and Frodo only as the Mad Bagginses. They would never ever come to the conclusion that these two are "The Esteemed Burglar" and "The Mysterious Lord Iorhael". And that's really a shame! But I very much enjoyed the end of this story! Frodo Gardner gave his "uncle" justice, for he must have known very well the meaning of the name Iorhael! Thank you very much! Author Reply: Oh, yes, I do believe that Dedoro can rival even Ioreth! And I do not believe Sam's son would have been raised in ignorance of his name either in Westron or in Sindarin. And you are so welcome, Andrea. Thank you so for the feedback! | |

| Well, if that wasn't a well-titled story! Indeed this is how it all comes out in great legends that may be true - King Arthur and such, and one cannot tell which is which at all. Love Frodo-lad's words about Frodo being a hero to Sam and even more that Sam was a hero to Frodo. Love the whole thing. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Yes, this is indeed how such legends began--and begin today. And Frodo would indeed think of Sam as a great hero, as Sam and the others think of Frodo! Am so glad you like it! Thank you so! | |

| Wow! Frodo Gardner got stuck with a very talkative companion, did he not? LOLOL Author Reply: That he did. We were to address myths in this story, and once I figured out how to include apricots I had to use that as the title! Thanks for the feedback, Armariel. | |
