| It is a horrible promise he has made her, but one that is certainly understandable. And, for the moment they are safe. | |

| I can not even imagine what mother's worry would be like! Thinking that orcs may getyour son and then knowing that some things would be kinder then being captured! It gave me shivers just to think about it! Looking forward to more! Author Reply: Gives me shivers, too. One thing the films did well was to show the mothers and children, especially in Helm's Deep. Thanks. | |

| Iraq, yes - with all the television coverage of small children with big eyes, but it makes me think more of Sarajevo. Author Reply: Ah. Haven't seen the television in quite awhile, so I will take your word for it. I remember hearing some of the stories about the people living in Sarajevo, that place that was such a beautiful city not so very long ago, during the last Winter Olympics. | |

| How old is Bergil? Ten, isn't he? There's nothing like being in the middle of a war to rob a child of childhood. (Although in many ways, childhood is the invention of the the Victorian middle class.) The nice sharp knife to protect Fargil from the orcs; Faramir in the Houses of the Dead; no knowledge of what has happened to his father. Poor Gilwyn. Author Reply: Even if that protection means slaying his cousin before the orcs can reach him... truly, Bergil is having to grow up much more quickly than he ought. Ah, was it the Victorian middle class? I was trying to remember just where the idea of carefree childhood had come from. I knew I'd read it in a literature history class, or just plain history, but couldn't remember where... Thanks! | |
