| Awwwww, poor lad! My sister and I broke our father's telescope once, when we were little ones. It was an accident, but like Merry's lad, we hadn't been given leave to touch it. The lens fell out...I don't remember if it actually broke. Probably. But the fact that it came off enraged our dad, and...well, I don't want to think about what happened next, at least on SoA. I'll tell you privately, if you want the whole story. We were younger than I think Theo is here. Anyway, I hope all will be well with Theo. Kaylee Author Reply: The spyglass in this story has featured in several of my other stories, most notably "Another Kind of Quest". Saradoc was more understanding than most fathers would have been, and I am sure the memory of his own father's reaction to when he and Pippin broke that one tempered Merry's reaction to this accident. Telescopes are a lot more delicate than they look, aren't they? | |

| "And," added Merry, “My punishment for him is much milder than the one I imposed on myself to replace the original spyglass!” This is so typical of Merry! A nice little story! I enjoyed reading it. And I, too, think that the name Theodas is very fitting for Merry's grandson. Author Reply: Indeed, Merry would impose a punishment on himself if he felt badly enough! And I'm glad you like the name Theodas! | |

| Poor Merry to have his spy glass broken. The punishment was indeed fitting. Author Reply: Well, I couldn't let it be broken beyond repair, so at least it will get fixed! And it will teach little Theo not to handle other people's things without permission hopefully! | |

| Merry is just the sort of grandfather we would expect him to be. "Theodas" is a great name for that family! Author Reply: Thank you! And I am very glad you liked the name. | |

| 'Gaffer Merry' is very wise. This is a nice story, and I enjoyed it. Author Reply: I think Merry would have been quite wise by the time he became a gaffer! And I am so glad you liked it! | |
