| Oh dear.... Interesting idea about the Mayor presiding over trials. I agree trials would have been rare, so it makes sense for the Mayor to preside, as well as to decide in the case of lawsuits resulting from boundary issues, contested wills, etc. I suppose the Mayor could appoint advisers if he needed help. I wonder how Bree handled those situations? We don't know if they had anything along the lines of a mayor or town council -- or the equivalent of Bounders or Shirriffs. Author Reply: I'm sure that the Thain and Master would just as easily conduct trials - and no doubt have over the many years - but it could just as easily be the Mayor. We do know that Sam wrote at least one law, so it stands to reason there is a precedent for that. Bree would be interesting. There would have to be both Big and Little People in on those decisions! | |

| Uh-oh! Well, of course, I already knew, but you wrote the chapter so skillfully that I forgot I already knew. Of course it wasn't going to go smoothly! It's Lalia after all, and we know from the Family Tree that Ferumbras never weds... But still-- you managed the suspense quite well, and the foreshadowing too! I have to say, looking at the litany of Ami's offenses, Lalia did have a point. Oh dear... Author Reply: Oh, Lalia does throw quite a wrench into the dealings here, that's for certain. Ferumbras certainly never has heirs - not every wife is listed on the family trees. ;) Ami has been negligent, for all that she's been well-meaning. Lalia could have picked a better time - and manner - for bringing all this up of course. Ferumbras still has some hope - but for how long? | |

| Ah, but there is the Lalia Clayhanger Took we all love to be frustrated with! Poor Rumbi, and poor Ami! Author Reply: Yep. Though Lalia had obviously kept all this in as long as she could. She had quite a list stored up! :P But yes, poor Rumbi and poor Ami. | |
