| No. How could a regular Hobbit who'd never left the Shire have any idea as to what went on out there that involved Frodo Baggins? | |

| A treasure indeed and that treasure learned how to do lead others from his own treasured one who led him through his own darkness. They teach us so much! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Well they found 'Twig' I bet the boys she was staying with were surprised! poor Freddy! Don't let him stay too long in his nightmares! How terrible! One of your characters, newly created, that I wouldn't mind hearing more about is Robin. I liked him in the Rebel the way you described him and all. Looking forward to lots more, thank you! | |

| I am sick with what has been done to Freddy. He was making progress, but now he's back to where he was. Everyone's trying to help, but mostly they're making it worse. At least this time they have a small advantage. Frodo understands that it's Saruman's poison keeping Freddy locked in delusions, and he knows the great danger in 'going home.' He's promised to stay by Freddy's side, and keep whispering in his ear, until all is well; but I really fear for Freddy should something call him away and force him to break that promise. The healers and his parents have heard what the problem is, but it is clear they can't actually get their minds around what Freddy's going through. I get frustrated at their inability to understand, but how can they fathom something so alien and horrible? It would be better if they would just stop trying to be comforting, shut up and let Frodo work! But, I'm pinning real hopes on Estella coming home, on her bright and fiery spirit, to pull Freddy back. I thought the ending was very poignant: 'You’ve a real treasure, there, in that cousin of yours.’ ’Don’t I know it,’ Odo said, but of course he didn’t know the half of it. | |
