At last Pip is doing right by his escort for once! And I could see the girl and her sons and the small halfling as easily as the books at my bedside. Very very well told. Author Reply: Belated thank you for stopping by and leaving a good word! I missed this review, when it was posted, and just saw it now. Thanks so much! | |

I'm breathless! So right and fitting for Pippin to honor Tolly and publicly make things right. True healing can now begin. I could see it all in my mind's eye. The image of all those Tooks cheering for their Thain was marvelous. To the Thain, indeed! Oh, how I've missed reading these stories. So glad to be back, at least for a moment. Author Reply: So glad you're back! Sounds like you're having a busy time of it. We have just moved house and home, and have spent the last two weeks first packing and then unpacking boxes. There are more boxes to unpack, but we are making progress. (Perhaps we ought to have set up the computer last of all, to make the progress move faster...) Thank you so much for the encouraging words! | |

Ah, indeed, to the Thain! The Thain and THE Took, and best of the best, slayer of trolls and companion to the Ringbearer! And may Tolly ever be blest for his good nature and integrity! The Master would approve, I think. Good enough on the sale. Mazeltov! Now, let me know the address once you know. Love to the hubby, the girls, and the beasts. Panda and Brendi send a dozen or so tail wags each, and a few kisses for good measure. Author Reply: It is always a pleasure to sneak a reference to Frodo in, especially one that honours his memory, after he has sailed. And yes, to pack a banquet hall (a *Hobbit* banquet hall at that, yes, that really would be something) full of celebrating hobbits and then set them up to cheer the Thain... well, a satisfactory conclusion to a story set in the Tookland doesn't get much better than that. ;) Little Panda sends wags and puppy kisses back. She has reached 55 lbs at the age of six months (after being 44 at 4 months, which was possibly enough to hold down a hobbit knight recovering from being half-crushed by a troll) -- I wonder if there's some sort of chart that can tell me what her ultimate weight may be? Will let you know as soon as we do! | |

Great chapter! You write these kinds of scenes so well. I could see the whole thing clearly in my mind's eye. Looks like the loose ends are nearly all tied up on this one. As usual, another fantastic tale. Author Reply: Thank you! This is the fun part of an angsty story -- tying up the loose ends. Not many more, as you've perceived. Just a couple of things to deal with, and then this one will be a wrap. | |
