| Two chapters at once - I can't keep up with your output, and I'm only writing two paragraphs to your pages of material! It was good to see Ferdinand. He always was crusty, but even more so here without Ferdi to soften him. Both he and Odovocar have lost a daughter, and are losing a son. How freeing it is to let out the word 'dying.' It strips away the superficial so that other words than need to be said, can be. I loved seeing Twig interact with Merry. He's saved her life, and she won't forget that, but she's also fooled him, and once the shock wears off, I think she's enjoying it. Fooling people whom she knows probably has been quite a source of amusement for Stell in the past half-year. It seems like everything is consipiring to keep Odo from finding Stell. Ferdi's clue can mean nothing to him, but he has sent everyone else away who might have grasped a meaning. Merry is riding away from the Smials when he encounters the familiar-looking lad, and will probably not be back for a while. I don't think he actually realizes the gravity of Freddy's situation anyway, as Frodo sent him to bed rather than ask him to help with the round-the-clock feeding. I wonder who the family is that has taken in a Took 'cousin' and how much they know. Good planning on Ferdi's part anyway, as it would be much easier to disgiuse Stella as a boy in an out-of-the-way farmstead, than among numerous relations where personal matters are difficult to conceal, and any slip would be seen my many eyes. | |
