| This chapter definitely had me laughing! Simple but brilliant! I love seeing the results of humans underestimating hobbits! They may be smaller and not as strong but they are definitely much more dextrous! Author Reply: I always adore the chance to show off the hobbit skill with "throwing and aiming" things! | |

| Great chapter. It was nice to have a break from the seriousness of judgments. Thank you. Author Reply: Yes, I thought it would be nice to lighten things up for a chapter. And I recalled the brief anecdote that Jolly talked about in "Testaments of the Past" and decided this would be a good place to flesh it out. | |

| Aha! The idea that Sam had made such a shot is pleasing, I find! At last the game is won, at least, and some of the Men of Gondor have a better idea of just how well Hobbits can best their own skills! Lovely! Author Reply: I think three darts in the same band of the same number would be incredibly difficult. Probably not a shot a human could make--but a hobbit could, and probably an Elf as well. I can imagine that those who were there will delight in the future in betting on the hobbits whenever they get the chance! | |

| I would have loved to watch both the dats matches. Most enjoyable! Author Reply: I expect it would have been quite a sight! I always love to let hobbits show off their throwing and aiming skills! | |

| "I can imagine the look on Frodo's face," said Berilac. "His jaw all prim and proper and his eyes full of mischief!" I can imagine it, too! What a thoroughly delightful chapter, and such a fun respite from the very serious business that had been taking place. Author Reply: *grin* Frodo does not approve of betting, but that doesn't mean he can't find some amusement in watching other people get themselves in a pickle. I did think it was time to lighten up a little, after the stress of the sentencing. | |
