| Of course, I never expected elves to exist for real, or to be even taller than humans. Definitely a far cry from Keebler elves or Santa's elves! At least Steve and Gail have a passing familiarity with Tolkien's works. It might have been awkward if they'd read the books and/or seen the films. I remember how well Boz4pm handled that situation. (And now I find myself idly thinking what it would have looked like for this family to have wandered into Narnia instead...?) I think the bit about the long skirts might be misstated? You lift the front of long skirts when going upstairs, but not down, if I'm remembering right. (I haven't re-enacted in a while, but that's what I seem to remember.) Alas, poor Elves. Thrown into confusion regarding human forms of address... And I so envy Steve and his ability to remember names. (I am wondering if Arwen's chair used to be her mother's?) Hmmm. Did the Elves' immortality (more or less) just go over Steve's head without him taking it in? For he doesn't seem to react at all, not even in his thoughts. Hobbits and hollow legs! LOL. But that fruitcake sounds heavenly. Bedtime and reading aloud. Sounds like a lovely respite in the middle of a rather stressful time, considering the adjustments they're having to make. Author Reply: No kidding! Of course, it's Santa's elves that the McClouds are thinking about. I never made any real attempt to read Boz4pm's stories, but I learned about her. Just as well, really, that none of the McClouds have read Tolkien's works or watched more than snippets of the movies while channel-surfing. Go over Steve's head? Must have! Hobbits and hollow legs, indeed! =) Glad you're enjoying the story! KG | |
