| Hooray! I'm so glad that Goldi and Farry have finally gotten to see each other. *Lets out huge sigh* Thank goodness for the nosiness of the Thain! I liked the way they were oh-so-dignified--until they got out of hearing distance, of course. Lovely, simply lovely. | |

| I had to go check the chapter heading to make sure this wasn't the ending of the story, as it wraps up so nicely that it sounded like it could be. So Sam got the job of talking to Rosie, on this and other topics. Wonder what the other ones were? More talk of future plans? Leaving Bag End to Frodo wouldn't require much discussion, but there were probably things to set up for the other kids. Somehow I imagine Sam would avoid talking to Rosie about sailing West when she was gone. Merry-lad, Pippin-lad and Robin's discussion makes it plain that the whole family knows how Sam and Pippin had conspired to keep Farry and Goldi apart. The picinc is a gentle way to lift Goldi's ban, and surprising both of them is a typical Pippin-trick. I suspect he's not wasting any time so as not to give Sam any chance to change his mind. I can see Goldi running to Elanor afterwards to make sure she knows what it all means. Ferdi is back to his normal suave, sophisticted self. I imagine the vulnerability he showed in the previous chapter emerges only rarely, and only with very few people. Ensuring Goldi is properly decorative is his kind of touch. The picnic scene is very pretty. Good thing hobbits eat a lot, so they need two baskets! And how nice for Goldi and Farry, that they can start out as 'always friends.' A nice, sweet beginning. | |
