| You went and got my curiosity up about this story in "With Their Heads Full of Dreams," and am I ever glad you did! I'm loving everything so far! And so glad Hamfast made up with Sam before Sam could "swallow his pride!" Sam knows what he's talking about, and what he said was the plain truth. I think I've told you before, but I'll say it again-I love the personalities you give the Gamgees. And Sam getting tipsy and serenading Rosie...LOL! That I would love to see! LOL! And Tom's consternation over Marigold-poor dear. When it comes to courting, those lads are more scared than their lasses, aren't they? :) And now... That is the most evil cliff-hanger! Frodo, our Frodo, missing? *gasp* Oh, he has to be all right! Goodness, GF, that's as bad as Tolkien's ending for Book IV. "Frodo was alive but captured by the enemy." Maddening! But I'm being absurd, sitting here and going on about cliff-hangers when I could be reading and finding out what's going on. *Runs off at a tremendous pace to find Frodo and see that he's well.* :) God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: There's plenty more (and worse) cliffhangers to come, I'm afraid. At least you don't have to wait to find out what happens next. ;) The Gamgees are so close to the way I was raised, with they're working class spirit. Gaffer in LOTR reminds me a lot of my own father, the way he's such a loveable, crotchedy father. :) Hamfast realizes that he's been unduly harsh on Sam. He knows he's blessed to have such a dedicated, hard-working son and he's able to show Sam that, even if they don't argee all the time, he still loves Sam. The boys do have it hard when it comes to making their intentions known to their lasses. The lasses have the easy job - they just say yes or no. The lads are the ones who have to work up the nerve and make that first move, poor dears. They're such sweet lads though, I don't see what they're worried about. No lass in their right mind would tell them no. Thanks for reading! Glad you're enjoying it so far! | |

| This is shaping up to be a fantastic story. You've got me hooked for now - I keep wondering how the door at Bag End keeps coming open with no one around. Is someone using the Ring to slip in and out unnoticed? LOL And now Frodo is missing? Sam is going to be beside himself. Good work! Author Reply: Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying it so much. That pesky door is going to cause problems. But no one is using the Ring. Just as Sam initially suspected (but then quickly dismissed) the Ring itself is the one causing the door to act up. I consider the Ring to be very much a major character throughout the story, though it isn't mentioned more than a couple of times. It's up to something, and we'll eventually find out what. Sam is indeed going to be very upset about Robin's news. | |
