| I loved all of these niblets from Harad! I hope to see a reunion on the other side between Aragorn, Sohrabi and the others in Lesser Rings, and for them to meet Frodo, Sam, and their friends and families...... Many thanks, and hugs! :) | |

| *sigh* Such lovely fireworks! I love the descriptions, and the meeting of two cultures in mutual wonder. Author Reply: Oh, I'm so glad you like them, Lindelea. I, too, love fireworks and was delighted to find a way to work them again into one of my tales. How better to bring north and south together than this, through shared delights? Love to the Hobbitlings and the hubby and the beasties. | |

| Gandalf's forsight is terrific! I love the thought of that image traveling through the sky. Gimli did a great job, and I wonder if Gandalf left other fireworks like that one and the one for Pippin? I'd like to think that he did, and that from time to time his fireworks will highlight special occasions! Thank you for posting this! :) Author Reply: Oh, I do hope that a few other fireworks were hidden here and there, and having been made by Gandalf they probably didn't degrade as swiftly over time as modern ones tend to do. Thanks so for expressing your appreciation, Teresa. | |

| It is as if Gandalf had known where his fireworks would be displayed! The picture of the mariner in his ship is well-known to both, Gondorians and Haradrim and so it strengthens the bond between the two lands even more. Author Reply: I wonder if he purposely left some fireworks in special places and hands to continue to delight and reward those who worked hard for the peace and fulfillment of their people? And you are so right that this must help strengthen the bonds between the two peoples. Thank you so, Andrea! | |

| I enjoyed reading why Sauron was an eye, wondering if the Entwives went to Harad and most of the fireworks.I wish i could have seen them! Author Reply: It's fun to explore some of these concepts from different perspectives. Thanks so, Linda, and I, too, wish I could have seen more of Gandalf's fireworks! | |

| Nice little set of tales - thank you. Author Reply: Oh, I'm so glad you like them. I have to get the rest of the prompts together now so I can catch up on the rest of the B2MEM tales for this year. But have been fighting various computer woes since early December, and am now working through many of the oddities and stupidities of Win8. Microsoft has overstepped usefulness with Windows 8, I find. For mouse and keyboard driven systems it's more a pain than anything else. | |

| Oh the fireworks sound lovely, Larner. When I was living in China I saw many firework displays, but the one I remember the most occurred at the school where I was teaching (the school was celebrating its 50th anniversary). I thought I had seen fireworks before this, but these were phenomenal and there were fireworks I had never seen before. In fact, they reminded me of Gandalf's fireworks in their complexity. The fireworks we have here in the States are, frankly speaking, pathetic in comparison. And all the while there was an organ in the background playing music. It was quite something. One little niggle, it should be "Vingilot"; you left out the 'n'. Author Reply: I'll make the correction as swiftly as I can. Between work and fighting to bring all my programs and databases up to date with the new operating system I've had my hands full. The fireworks you saw in China sound marvelous, and I envy you the experience! I've seen some excellent ones at Disneyland, in Seattle, and at the Puyallup Fair, although in recent years the last have been curtailed due to the increased population of the area. Got my copy of The Hobbit part 1 and watched it tonight. Now I have to get a copy for my clients--one of them is enthralled with the movie and will love seeing it again, I suspect. After he saw it at the theater he spent much of his time coming out of his room to repeat to my fellow caregivers and me, "They're very little--but smart! And lucky!" for two days. | |

| What a lovely series of stories. Legends link far-flung lands, and goodwill links all hearts. Author Reply: I so agree, Shirebound. This must have brought a good deal of wonder and pleasure to the people of Thetos that evening, and more fellowship as the people of Harad begin to realize how much they share with those of the northern lands. | |
