| I can certainly appreciate just why the visit was heartening to poor Frodo! And they did get a good meal out of it, at least. | |

| I know this story has been around awhile, but I have only just discovered it. I enjoyed your original verse for Tom to greet "the Brandybuck and the Ringbearer with. it is just like his verses in the book.Am enjoying the story very much so far. Author Reply: Oh, thank you for your comment! Sorry to be so late in replying; somehow I missed seeing it until today. Jodancingtree and I had quite a conversation on Tom's verses, once... I was "helping" her with one of her chapters, and it turned out that *I* was the one who was helped when my turn came to write Tom! | |

| Okay, Lin, I'm having a Summary Version of LOTR moment here: Merry: Do you think this could have anything to do with the morgul blade? duh. Sorry - I'm remembering all the times people said the word 'queer' to describe everything from Really Scary Stuff to the weather. Okay, I'm reading on, just had to break and point this up. He brought his hands down upon his knees with a slap. 'Well,' he said, 'I was forgetting why I came.' Okay - that's probably not meant as funny, but it is. Oh well, Frodo's disappearing. Oh, by the way...lalalalalala. And Tom BOMBADILLO. Want some poetry. I'll have to come up with some you know. I see 'Tom Bombadil' and it's almost a Pavlovian Response. After one of these encounters, hearing Frodo sigh, he said, 'You know, cousin, with a tin cup you could make quite a lot of money as a beggar...' Coffee spray... You DID write Bombadil poetry. But it's SERIOUS Bombadil poetry. Is that possible? And you didn't use Armadillo ONCE. harumph! I read on... Lindorien | |

| Do you know, this is almost enough to make me like Tom Bombadil. (And, I suppose, Goldberry.) Normally he just seems like a pantomime addition to a serious play - like putting Coco the Clown in The Duchess of Malfi. I'm not surprised Merry was shocked - I thought he dealt with it quite well. Author Reply: LOL, I have to admit I always skim over the Tom Bombadil part when I re-read the book... to write this, I had to comb it carefully to try to pick up Tom and Goldberry's speech patterns. Difficult. I nearly took the easy way and left off the chapter, with only a reference to the visit and the fact that Tom could see Frodo, just as he had when Frodo had put the Ring on. But I managed, somehow. Whew. Thanks. | |
