Sorry it took so long to get to this, but great to see another chapter. :) Glad that the hobbits proved their worth once more in saving Boromir.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Oh, yes, they are indeed proving to be anything but helpless! Thanks so!

“Rope! I knew as we’d need rope!” he could hear Sam exclaim.

Great, that you put that in ;-)

Once again Boromir's respect for Frodo has grown. Frodo is able to keep calm and make a clear assessment of the situation even in the worst circumstances. That is indeed admirable!

But of course, without the help of Bill the Pony the rescue would have been much more difficult.

Author Reply: I so agree--Bill truly pulled his weight on that day! And Sam had to make it plain to all he regretted not having thought of rope in preparing for their journey. Thanks so, Andrea!

It seems that Boromir has a new appreciation for the smaller members of the Fellowship! He won't forget easily being saved by a halfling and a pony. Now, if only his regard extended to Aragorn, also... Pretender, indeed!

If the paths are that difficult while still at that low height, the climb up is going to be slow and almost too dangerous. I can see the attraction of going through Moria instead.

Author Reply: Oh, but I agree, Someone. We know they didn't make it anywhere near the crest of the pass, for Caradhras wasn't being cooperative at all.

As for Aragorn's title in Boromir's mind--I'd think Boromir would have mixed feelings about the northerner's claim on the Winged Crown, and at times would wish to distance Aragorn from the possible rule of Gondor.

Thanks so!
