| This wonderful chapter left me with a grin on my face! And oh, the tales! Pip will be highly gratified when he learns how well their ruse worked. Author Reply: So glad! For a change, Pippin gets to use the Talk in his favour. (Well, maybe not for a change. I think he probably grows quite skilled in this crowd-control technique, actually, understanding its power.) | |

| This was a delightful chapter. Now Tolly will be able to simpathize with Pippin about the being forced to eat all the time. :) Loved the idea of the little inn off the beaten path where the Thain takes his wife for a quiet retreat. That created a very sweet image in my mind. Ned better hope his tale doesn't reach some ears. The Thain isn't exactly fond of the Talk and that story could end up going 'round the whole Shire. Of course, it does through everyone off the idea that a Man entered the Shire. They'll all be more convenced than ever that it was an elf. Hmm, Pippin could actually appreciate the tall tale, but I rather think he'd rather not have it That imbellished. Author Reply: So glad you enjoyed it! As the rest of the story is pretty much wrapping up loose ends, it's going to be a lot of "comfort" after the "hurt" and not a whole lot of tension. I worry sometimes that it's not "exciting" enough, until I remind myself how much I enjoy reading comfortable chapters from others, like Shirebounds latest about Fili and Kili after the spider stings. Funny how Pippin doesn't have to do any of his own embellishing in this case! All he had to do was start the ball rolling, and hobbity gossip took care of the rest. | |

| Indeed, it is only right that the "normal" times should return, particularly considering how upsetting the latest troubles proved, and how marvelous the healing that they have seen performed. As for the Son of Elrond--I wonder how many others will figure it out! Author Reply: Hmmm. Well of course Pippin knew, and Hilly (having spent time with all the sons of Elrond, enough to have some subliminal sense of body language, aura, that sort of thing), but I'm not sure other hobbits have the experience to understand the clues in quite the same way. So Elessar's secret is safe! For surely the conspirators are not going to tell, and Hilly knows better. | |
