Truth  by Lindelea 2 Review(s)
FantasyFanReviewed Chapter: 16 on 10/1/2003
Daisy and Primrose made Rose all her favorites. Frodo does Ruby's dusting for her. There's more than one way to say, "I love you no matter what happens."

'Don't be a ninny,' Rose said. 'I'll call all the children in to sit on you if I have to.'
'Sit on me?' Sam said.
'That's what they have to do with Tooks, to keep them abed,' Rose said. 'Don't think I haven't noticed, in all our visits to the Smials.'
'I'm not a Took,' Sam said.
'Then don't act like one,' Rose snapped.

*snicker* That's love too, and besides, it made me laugh out loud, and at work too. I love the sharp wit, not to mention the running joke.

I feel for Ferdi, with Pip in one of his difficult moods. This reminds me of a Pippin we haven't seen much of recently, all clever plans and airy pronouncements and stubborn intensity. I'm actually quite pleased that, although Ferdi has detected the truth and falsehood, it will actually be Pippin who worries out the real thief and gets Frodo-lad back into good graces. Ferdi has seemed a little too good to be true lately (though I love him dearly) and we might need a little reminding exactly why Pippin is the best Thain the Shire has ever had.

Carry on with the writing - I'm not getting much work done, but I'm loving reading all the chapters.


Author Reply: Sorry you're not getting much work done, but I'm loving reading all the reviews! Honestly, you always give me much food for thought which helps in the shaping of characterisations. Thanks for taking the time!

I finally realized why the story is named "Truth." They must find the truth about the chickens.

Hmm...I wonder what Pippin is thinking about the necklace. I hope that it works out!

Author Reply: Good guess about the story's name. Often the names of these stories are multi-faceted, and can be applied to several different parts of the story. It's fun to do that!
