| Ah, dear, at least Woodruff is listening to the part of what Bilbo has to tell that will actually HELP Robin, although Bilbo did have to reprove him when he leapt forward too far in the procedure. He does have the makings of a good healer, once he gets LISTENING down, too. Heh! Author Reply: Ah, yes, Mardi does tend to run on when he ought to be listening. But he's pretty good at paying attention, once you get his attention, that is. Thanks! | |

| Bilbo thought perhaps bringing Elves into the discussion might be counter-productive at this point LOL!!! I think he is right! I am quite relieved that Bilbo has indeed gained some experience in the healing of men. So, Elrond used a smaller dose for men than for hobbits. Who would have thought that? On the other hand, hobbits are very special :-) And Mardi will be very glad that Bilbo's advice came in time! Author Reply: Hobbits are indeed very special! Thanks! | |

| So they came up with a solution. Good. As for Mardi he seems to be a bit in over his head. ‘An elderly chap, is he?’ Mardi said, checking the temperature of the onion poultice. ‘You might say so,’ Bilbo replied, hiding a grin. *giggles* I couldn't hide my grin as I read this. Great job. Author Reply: So glad! I have laughed through similar situations, so it was fun to write this scene of two people talking together about completely different things. | |

| Ah! A smaller dose rather than a larger (as one would normally think of size) but you are going not for size but metabolism! Very clever twist! Thank goodness Bilbo did know what to do, but now I am wondering about the story of his illness at the Last Homely House, and whether it was on the way to the Mountain or on the way home, and who the Man was. Perhaps kin of some sort to young Estel, I wonder? Good thing he refrained from too many explanations. Mardi might have been far too sidetracked by Elves! | |

Isn't it funny how stories spawn other stories? Thanks! | |

| Poor Mardi, having to deal with something so unexpected and troublesome. I love your little details like: She inclined her head with a meaningful glance. Sighing, he scooted back again to his original spot, to take up his vigil once more, as close as might be, but no closer than his mother would allow. Author Reply: Thank you! I delight in reading little details, too. (So glad to have reading time again!) | |

| Bilbo and Mardi just aren't quite on the same page but they are at least making progress. I don't think Mardi would understand a thing if Bilbo said things any plainer. At least it looks like there's going to be resolution for poor Robin soon. Good chapter. Waiting and wondering how well Bilbo's dosing idea works. Author Reply: Not quite on the same page, but at least the important things are being communicated... *g* I think you're right about Mardi -- bringing in Elves would probably muddy the waters so much, he'd lose the thread altogether (to mix a couple metaphors). Thanks! | |
