| I love this chapter! Not a word of dialog spoken, and you can hear the quiet of the night (once Hally stops snoring) as each person lies awake, thinking their own thoughts, unaware that everyone else has their mind on the same topic. Ferdi and Farry are bound to their bargain, though neither thinks they have the best end of the deal. Ferdi has Faramir figured out well. He would bolt if he could. It is very kind of Ferdibrand to want to save Faramir. He doesn't have to, you know. Tooks and Trouble have been together for a long time, and Ferdi could leave Pippin's family to sink or swim on their own. You know who Farry reminds me of here? Lonely and smart, with too much time to think. Sometimes he seems older than his age, but he's not old enough to have developed good judgement yet. A restless core, and stubborn as they come. He reminds me of Frodo, as he might have been as a youngster in Buckland. Frodo got into his share of trouble too (at a slightly oder age), although not quite as serious as the trouble Farry has managed to find. So, there's hope for Faramir yet. Frodo, Merry and Pippin kept each other grounded. Faramir needs some of that hobbit love to come through this. Author Reply: That was an insightful recap of the chapter. Your comments on young Frodo were interesting. I have read very little “young Frodo” fanfic—are you referring to a specific story or stories? I’d be interested to read them. Good thing for Farry that Ferdi is also a stubborn Took! | |

| I knew that Rosemary couldn't be fooled for long. She's Ferdi's sister, after all, even if she is married to a Bolger. :) Farry's getting tired of the place already? To many chores for one of his class? I hope that Ferdi teaches him a good lesson. (I can't believe that he didn't learn after "Firstborn." Then again, he is a stubborn Took.) For Ferdi's sake, I hope that he doesn't have to go to Gondor! *Goes off and laughs at the mental imagry.* Cheers! Author Reply: Yes, Farry is a stubborn Took, and I'm sure he reformed for a short span after FirstBorn, but he was still in the same place with the same friends, and less parental attention than before as Diamond and Pippin buried themselves in their own grief, so it is not surprising that he went back to the comfort of his spoiled cousins. Ferdi taking Farry to Gondor... would you believe such a story is in the works? *g* | |
