The Tenth Walker  by Lindelea 4 Review(s)

Oh poor Bill!!! I have been dreading what is to come, and it seems that poor Frodo is too. What a poor dear. And poor Sam. I can’t wait for them all to be reunited in the end!

Thank you so so much for your response! I am so sorry I have not had a chance to respond to your email yet. I have had so many assignments due this week and next that I haven’t had much time for anything except sleeping and eating aside my school work. I will try to write at some point this week. Thank you so much for your advice and kind words. They were appreciated more than you can know. Slán go fóil!

Author Reply: Poor Frodo. From the book's presentation, it appears he didn't share with Sam Gandalf's news about not being able to take Bill into the mines, for it seems to come as a complete surprise to Sam in a later scene. (And I'm with you; the only reason I could write the difficult chapters of this story was because I'd already written the wonderful reunion chapter! I'm sure that's not a spoiler since it's mentioned in the book. :) )

Thanks for reading and pausing to share your thoughts. Best wishes to you with all the assignments... I remember those days so well...

Feeling so sorry for poor Bill... Who knows what matter of creatures gather around the dark land of Moria?

Author Reply: Well, there are wolves, and the Watcher in the Water, for starters... But he'll also have the hope of Gandalf's words of guard and guiding to help him, which sounds like a very good thing.

Thanks!

Oh, boy! Poor Bill doesn't know it yet, but he's about to be left behind.

Author Reply: Alas, poor Bill!

(Thanks for reading and commenting!)

Oh no, the Big Announcement is looming. This is so suspenseful! Eeeeee.

Author Reply: Very soon! Yikes. (And then this story will be complete, and its sequel will begin.)

Author Reply: Oops, I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. This story will be complete after the Watcher in the Water attacks, of course, and Bill is separated from the rest of the Party.
