| Frodo-lad barely got to say anything to his mom and da, and I thought maybe Rose might be brave enough to speak to him, in the safety and cloister of their own home. But I did not let myself hope that Daisy would brave the consequences and say good-bye, especially now when I see how severe the consequences would be. She is brave, to take the risk of not only seeing him, but to also declare that she would wait out the year for him. I'm sure there will be many suitors eager to 'console' her, while the competition is unavailable, and it will not be a popular stance to defend Frodo when his guilt has been proven, and his punishment made public. Frodo's and Daisy's love is romantic and solid, but there's another kind of love declared in a pocket-fuzzy ginger buscuit. Even amongst Frodo's anguish of his wrongful accusation and unjust punishment and his despair over losing his reputation and chances for the future, he must feel a trace of grounding security in the unquestioning love of his family. It's going to take one of those detective-novel miracle confessions to get Frodo out of this at tomorrow's hearing, I'm afraid. Even though Pippin knows he's innocent, and Ferdi's convinced Ned is lying, there's no evidence he can hold in his hand. He's got to find some way of proving it to everyone who's sure to be watching, and it will be a real trick to convince Ted, especially if his own son is involved. Unless the truth comes out about the borrowing of the knife, there's not even a thread to start pulling on to unravel the true story. I'm looking forward to see what you have to pull out of your hat. Author Reply: There is an awful lot of love in this chapter, one of the things that makes hobbits so winsome and wonderful, I think. A detective-style miracle confession? I do hope I managed to side-step that contrivance. Let me know how I did when we get to that part. | |

| Thank you for the part with Daisy. I'm so glad to know that she still believes in poor Frodo! *Screams* He's lying!! I know that, and you know that! Why can't everyone else know too? Ah, well, then I guess we wouldn't have a story, now would we? I think that I might have an idea on why Ned could have taken the chickens, but I'll keep quiet on that. Magnificent, once again! Author Reply: You have an idea as to why the chickens were taken? Do tell! (after this is resolved, of course). I’m itching with curiosity. Or else it’s time to treat the dog for fleas again. And thanks once again for the encouragement! | |
