| Having been through my own encounter with a squirrel at the tender age of three or four and having bled heavily as a result, I can certainly appreciate what poor Frodo has just been through. And after the havoc wrought more by Pippin than the squirrel and Frodo, even, I can appreciate the desire to hide out and allow the relatives to go home. Poor Frodo! He deserves the Undying Lands just for putting up with his cousins! Author Reply: See, I'm catching up! *grins* I'm sorry to hear you had an unfortunate encounter, yourself! This actually happened to a friend of mine, who like poor Frodo, was just trying to help. That was an interesting comment on Frodo's deserving the Undying Land for his cousins! Puts a whole new, very intriguing slant on things! Hummm... | |

| Oh, my gosh! For some reason, I pictured that wretched squirrel as Scrat from Ice Age. Pippin's little ambush had me in hysterics, especially the part where he pulled the bookcase over. :) I loved Frodo's last lines, too. Utterly brilliant. Thanks! Author Reply: Hi, Elen! Can you believe I'm FINALLY catching up on my replies? Don't faint from the shock! I'm so glad you enjoyed this story. This actually happened to a friend of mine, exactly as described (except for poor Merry's accident). She had to have stitches. And now that you mention it, I could just see Scrat in that evil little beast... | |

| That was too funny! Poor Frodo! All that to get his home presentable and then a squirrel gets in and makes havoc of their hard work! I was laughing so hard with all of that excitement! Frodo deciding to hide rather then face his Aunt and Uncle was brilliant! Thank you for such fun! | |

| Good grief...can't win for losing! LOL...poor Frodo! He almost became "Nine Fingers" *before* the Quest! And Merry! Will he ever have any children? Little Pippin...will his cousins survive his visit??? All qustions that will hopefully be answered in A Perilous Path... See you there! :-) Pippinfan | |

| What a rush!! I'm breathless. I can hardly imagine writing such a scene as the squirel in the parlor. Totally marvelous! And this: "To Frodo’s bewilderment, meals seemed to be going the same way as Pippin’s proper bedtime. Somehow his nutritious breakfasts, carefully planned for a growing hobbit-lad, had given way to sweetcakes every morning, piled high with berries and dripping with honey. Or pie. Or strawberry shortcake. Frodo salvaged his conscience by telling himself the berries were fruit, and whipped cream was almost milk, and shortcake was just another sort of bread, wasn’t it?" That is my husband's exact reasoning when he desides to eat ridiculus things like apple pie with ice cream (fruit and cream) for breakfast :-) And I love the description of Pip's wee toy bear, and him giving it a tour of his furniture and blanket smial. I built many a dwelling of that sort myself when I was growing up. WONDERFUL!!! | |
