| Glad this night went better than the last. Ferdi is doing a good job of planning and preparing. It will stand him in good stead in the future. How terrible to think that the Took's last feast day was probably a memorial feast for Pippin. It must have been a terrible (but wonderful) shock when he came back...alive and whole. Author Reply: He has practice in moving secretly through the woods, both as a hunter, and on his clandestine visits to his sister, where he didn't want any gossip going back to the Tooks. I wonder if the Tooks even felt like feasting at Yuletide... Perhaps they held to a form of celebration, but didn't really have their hearts in it. I wonder what the welcoming feast was like?! Thanks! | |

| Once again, an excelent chapter. I'm glad you put some reminders of what season it was in there. I'd forgot that this was a few months after "The Proposition". The part where Estella is thinking about the feasts at the Great Smials and realizing that the last feast they probably had was the memorial for Pippin. The thought of hobbits not being able to have their feast days is sad enough but the thought that the last one was for sweet Pippin is heartbreaking. This is a gripping story and I eagerly await your next chapter. Author Reply: Glad the time clues helped. It'll probably be a little clearer when Proposition reaches this point in time -- the progression of time and season will be easier to see, then. The thought of a memorial feast for Pippin is awful, you're right. Thanks! | |

| Ferdi is the planningest hobbit! Are you sure he's not got Brandybuck in him? Poor Estella, she's getting her eyes opened; and I'm sure she's had her fill of this adventure--but it's not over yet by a very long shot! Author Reply: Hmmm, Brandybuck, could be somewhere there. However, Bolgers also seem to be good planners. Ferdi is impulsive, but he also doesn't care to leave things to chance -- he knows all about the luck of the Tooks, you see. Thanks! | |

| A good two nights' journey they've had so far. I so hope that they will continue to make decent time. This cave sounds more comfortable than the hollow tree, at least. Author Reply: I think the cave is at least more spacious, though perhaps not as warm. You win some, you lose some! Thanks! | |
