| Let the party begin! Pippin never wanted all that gold anyway, and its a good thing since Ferdi's got him buying a round for all the inhabitants of Hobbiton, Bywater and Overhill. I hope he brought plenty with him! I had to laugh at Ferdi and Regi, but he's right, it seems like a good idea. There will be a chance to put rumors to rest, and start some talk of a more helpful variety. Plus I hope we'll see another reunion, since Daisy and her family are right in the thick of it. When Fastred and Elanor come up, they're going to be confused at the least. Pip was at his splendiferous best lifting the ban on Frodo. I could just about hear him rolling the rrrrr's in Gardener. I think if he hadn't been Thain, he would have made a good traveling entertainer - standup comedy and song (I imagine him with a lovely tenor voice). I imagine if Ferdi hadn't reminded everyone he didn't need the money, he could have passed the hat at that moment and made himself a bundle. The people of the Shire love their Thain, and for him to publicly admit his error, and admit it with such undisguised glee, I am sure makes them love him all the more. Now he'll have to move into his next profession, campaign manager, and make sure his favorite Mayor doesn't suffer at re-election time. I'm glad Shirriff Nod got a chance to make his apologies, and Frodo to forgive him. He's really not a bad shirriff, he's just had a run of ill luck lately. I wonder if any of the Sandyman family was at the announcement? If so, they're probably the only glum faces in the whole place. Ferdi's in a good mood, Pippin's in a good mood, all the hobbits getting free beer are going to be charmed by a spontaneous party, and the proprietor of the Green Dragon has to be overjoyed. It's a happy sort of release of tension, but I know you've got a few loose ends left to tie up, and probably a trick or two left up your sleeve. Ned will have to be dealt with, of course, and the aforementioned reunions, but there are five more chapters to go so pretty much anything could still happen. Perhaps at the end they could all sit down to a nice chicken dinner. (smile) Author Reply: travelling entertainer, yes, I do believe Pip missed his calling. Imagine him travelling about Gondor, amazing the inhabitants with sleights of hand and picking up all those complimentary mugs of beer. In this chapter, you’ll see a couple of loose ends tied up, but of course there are a few more. A chicken dinner? Wicked sense of humour... | |

| I love Pippin's way of doing things. Of course he can't just quietly lift the ban, he must make a big production of it! LOL! I'm so glad that the Burrows got to be there to see it. I bet Daisy is a very happy girl right about now! I loved Ferdi taking such liberties with the Thain's pocketbook; very funny. Now that this is over, we shall hear tell of Goldi! Hurrah! Author Reply: I do believe that the last few chapters will deal mostly with Goldi's story. That is only fair and right, since she started out the story, originally, and kind of got shoved in the cupboard by another plot point. Ferdi usually knows just how far to go, and manages not to step over that line. Most of the time. | |
