| Perhaps in the eyes of the Tooks Ami's "curse" took her, but she proved to be enduring, capable, and caring beyond Lalia's spite. Perhaps Fortinbras and Ferumbras should not have sought to hide things from wife and mother, but they proved to have excellent reason in the end. I'm glad that Pippin had such a name-father, and no wonder they named him that considering their frustration with the Thain's Lady! He had quite the name to live up to! And I rejoice that Ferumbras is far wiser as the Took than his mother ever was! Thanks for a wonderful tale. I only regret that with my new job I've had so little time to read and review, and had to draw it out so! Author Reply: Certainly some of the Tooks considered it the Curse, but many understand that it was Lalia at work here. Considering that Lalia knew much of what was going on already, I have to wonder how much would have changed if the news had from from husband and son, rather than a lowly stablehand. Pippin certainly had a lot to live up to - and he did! I'm sure he made Perry quite proud. :D Ferumbras had a lot of help in becoming so wise, and soon he'll be able to finally share his life with the lass he loves - and who loves him. Thank you for reading, dear Larner, and for all your wonderful reviews! | |

| So, Thain Fortinbras feared that Lalia would leave him when he didn't banish Ami? Well, some people might say: good riddance! But obviously he loved her. And what could we say against that, especially after this story ;-) I liked it that Rumbi followed Ami's advice and spoke some clarifying words concerning Pearl as soon as he arrived in Great Smials. That was the best way to end the rumours. And of course I liked it that he lifted the ban. Ami however, seemed to be happy and content in Nohill. I doubt that she would have found that in Great Smials with Lalia as her mother-in-law! Thank you GamgeeFest for this story! I enjoyed it a great deal! Author Reply: He did love her, yes. I'm sure she had her good qualities. ;) He wasn't the easiest husband to live with either - most wives wouldn't put up with being put second to her husband's cousins. And considering how many cousins he has, that's a very distant second. Ami learned the hard way that keeping quiet isn't the best way to go in most cases, but especially this one. Pearl is innocent and everyone needs to understand that. It's up to debate if speaking up would have helped Ami all those years ago, but she's not one to linger over should-haves. Rumbi was always going to lift the ban. He didn't really need Pally and his sisters to ask him, but he may have waited a little longer to go visit her without their prompting. As Perry pointed out, it was not a good time for the Thain and Took to be taking off unannounced. Ami has no complaints, that is certain! She's lived a full and prosperous life and never wondered "what if." She took what was given her and did the most she could with it - which was quite a lot! It is the Tooks who should be wondering "what if" for having lacked her as the Lady. Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Andrea! I truly appreciate all your reviews! | |
