| Loved the spookiness with the idea of closing the shutters and keeping the smial dark - nervous anticipation. Poor Bucca, left responsible for so many. Lucky Bucca with his precious new little one. Look forward to learning more - and developing the link between then / now. Author Reply: Yes, and Bucca cannot even imagine that he holds a future Thain of the Shire in his arms... Thanks! | |

| Oh, this is getting interesting. Now, though, I'm getting curious about so many little odd things. One that is niggling at me is the family names. How did they get from where they were in Bucca's time to where they are at the time of the Quest. Just a little question. Not that I'm expecting an explanation, and, who knows, if I pay close attention I may actually find out in the course of your story. If I have learned anything from reading your writing, it is to be patient. You almost always explain everything by the end. Thanks. Connie. Author Reply: Yep, I almost always explain everything by the end, except when I drop a stitch while knitting a story together. That's when I count on the alert reader to let me know there's a loose end sticking out. Of course, In "Pearl" there was a deliberate loose end. But then that was to allow a sequel. Thanks! | |

| Bucca and his son were very sweet. I'm curious as to why the Thorn was needed; I suspect it relates to the hobbits who went off to fight. Poor Bucca, it must be terrible to wait and wait for his twin only to learn that the waiting was in vain and that his brother is dead. Author Reply: Thanks for commenting. Can't answer but to say all will be clearer in chapters soon to come. | |
