| I noticed that in my review I miss-spelled Faramir, sorry bout that. Really should read what I write first shouldn't I? LOL Author Reply: Happens to me all the time. I called Merigrin "Merigrim" in the latest chapter posted and didn't even notice until I'd proofread it three times. Thanks for reviewing! | |

| Don't suppose Faravir is in the closet with a special someone do you? LOL Or maybe just dancing way too late? Love Merry sleeping through the entire thing along with Estella. Too funny! | |

| Primula is a lovely name for a girl-child. Merry and Estella must really be exhausted to barely wake when moved into the coach! Well, they'll be rested when they arrive rather than worn out after travel. Author Reply: Isn't that a nice thought? I'm always exhausted and in need of a vacation after a vacation... Thanks for commenting! | |

| This is a lovely sweet interlude after all the broad comedy of the Linen Press. Like any new parents, Elanor and Fastred are counting tiny toes and exclaiming over wee eyelashes. It was sweet of them to honor Frodo with the name, but I think it was as much for Sam as for anyone. Elanor knows how much her father loves Frodo, and how much he wants him to be remembered. I notice she waits until he's not holding hot tea before she tells him the name. Merry and Estella are precious. I don't think they're going to let each other out of sight for a while. It'll be funny when they wake up and don't know exactly where they are and can't remember the wedding. They'll probably recognize Rosie's cooking, though. Sometimes the burden seems to lie heavier on Merry and Estella than Pippin and Diamond. It's good to see them have an interlude without angst! What is Farry up to now? And is Goldie up to it with him? Is he going to be glad that Robin is the one finding him, and not his father or Sam? I don't guess he's brawling with Hodge, but there may be some funny business going on. That's an interesting situation, and it becomes more so to hear that Sam has his eye on Hodge, in a mayoral way I suppose; but you never have said exactly who owns that mill.... Looking forward to the next chaper. It's kind of refreshing to have a story that's light and not too worrysome, now and again. Author Reply: Just posted the second-to-the last chapter, what is that word? Penultimate. Not far to go now. Have started another semi-light story, now that this one's nearly done, to counter the very heavy story I'm posting. You are as observant as Elanor to have noticed her waiting until he was done pouring the tea! It was fun to give Merry and Estella a nice rest, even if most of what I wrote was about them... asleep... And as to Farry, well, we find him in the next chapter. | |

Oh, I love the baby's name - brought tears to my eyes because even if the babe had been a boy, Frodo and his parents still will be remembered... | |

| Yay! They got out of the closet. What a sweet chapter. I really liked the naming of the baby. Looks like Farry and Goldi could have a bit of rough beginning to the courtship. Nice to know in advance that it all works out. What a sweet image of Merry and Estella. I always find them hard to visualize, but you make them so clear, and sweet, and obviously in love. Aaahh. Thanks. Connie. Author Reply: Thank you. Glad you liked it. Yes, things are a bit rough at the moment. Good thing we know the outcome. I haven't done much with writing about Merry and Estella for quite awhile now. It was nice to give them a quiet, loving interlude. Of course, it is only possible to do that if you have lots of action swirling round them, otherwise the story would be sweet but awfully dull, I'm afraid. | |
