| I love how Bill learns from Shadowfax. Now--where next? Am sad that they didn't meet again in Rivendell. Author Reply: It is really too bad that Bill didn't go back to Rivendell. When I was drafting the story, I kept asking myself why he'd go back to Bree? After all, his life with Ferny was so miserable. So part of figuring out Bill's journey involved finding the answer to that question. Thanks so much for reading and pausing to share your thoughts. | |

| Too bad he's not going to have Shadowfax all the way, because sooner or later Gandalf is going to need his horse again. But I suppose the "Voices" will be back then. Either way, I'm glad Bill is getting some help along the way. Author Reply: You make several excellent points! Many thanks for reading and pausing to share your thoughts. I find reviews so encouraging. | |

| Hey, you should include a link to The Tenth Walker in your story summary! That way, those who haven't read it yet can do so before reading this one, if they choose. Author Reply: Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it work, but it did. Whew! | |

| Hooray for a delicious and reviving drink! Something tells me that my Hobbits will seek to return to that marvellous Valley, and I intend to be there to welcome them when they arrive at last. Dear Bill, what an encouraging foresight. Author Reply: Blessed Bill. He's quite wise; he remembers the connection between his hobbits and the old pet, making the Valley the most likely place to find them again. It was such a relief when Bill quenched his thirst! Every time I pick up my flask of ice and water these days, I savor the taste and refreshing feeling in part because poor Bill was thirsty for such a long time! Thanks so much for reading and pausing to share your thoughts! | |

| All right, Shadowfax, you stay right at Bill's side until he's back in Bree and under Butterbur's care! I love how Shadowfax is looking after Bill and protecting him from harming himself. Hmm, I wonder. Will Bill even need the Voices with Shadowfax there to guide and look after him? Author Reply: Well, it's not all smooth going, or Bill wouldn't have been "skinny as a rail" when he arrived in Bree... So he probably can use all the help that's available... At least JRRT wrote about his fate, which I found quite reassuring when writing this second half of his story. Thanks! | |
