| It must be a hard blow to Ferdi, to lose two wonderful ponies in such a manner. I am glad that Paladin is letting him know how things happened so gently. As for the offer to Frodo--well, as we know, a bit late. Author Reply: It would be a hard blow, especially when he'd been working with them since the spring, would have gotten to know their little quirks and foibles, befriended them, taught them, etc. I know when we raised a guide dog puppy, even though we knew the whole time he lived with us that we were raising him in order to let him go to a new owner, it was still hard when he left us. Thanks! | |

| '...there’s more to this than we know.’ Indeed, far more than any of them know or can imagine. If only the danger had been a few rogue men and the need of Tookish archers. Strangely the danger came not from without (by men, as Paladin thought) but within (by a seemingly harmless ring) the Shire. Hope the last sentence is understandable. Author Reply: Yes, I understand it! So true, the Ring offered the danger. Amazing how it languished for so many years in the Shire without apparent effect. I was also thinking when I read your comment that "within" could include hobbits like Lotho and Ted Sandyman. | |

| Poor Ferdi. But at least he now knows the truth about his ponies, as far as any of them know it. He actually did better taking the news than I was afraid he would. Paladin is really impressing me in this story. He's showing a level-headed, clear-thinking side that I'm really liking. I am worried what's going to happen to him when he finally gets word about Frodo, Pippin and Merry. That word now doesn't seem so far off. I'm rather holding my breath for him. Of course I can't really since it will probably be about a week before we see and updat to this one. :) Sorry I can't help with the block quote problem. I always just cut and paste my stories, and even then I'm having some formatting issues these days. Some programs just haven't quite learned to play nice with Safari and TextEdit. Author Reply: Thank you! I figure he would have had to be level-headed and clear-thinking to keep the Tookland free in the face of what the rest of the Shire experienced. | |

| Oh, the fat's about to hit the fire! It's a shame that letter didn't get to Frodo sooner. Author Reply: True, though I wonder if it would have made any difference if it had... Tooks and Tooklanders are still no match for Black Riders, after all. Whew. | |
