So more people do get stuck.... Thankfully that's well over.

Author Reply: LOL, yes it is well over. For the nonce. The linen press just might have the last laugh; we'll see.

Oh, please say that they're finally getting out of that closet. I don't think it could possibly hold nine adult hobbits and one babe, especially since one of the hobbits in question is very tall.

All of sudden I just had vision of opening the door of a VW and twenty people climbing out. (shakes head)

Well at least Merry and Estella are having a very nice nap.

Connie.

Author Reply: Yes, they finally got out. Whew. Good thing Merry doesn't follow on Pippin's heels as he usually does and precipitate them both into the linen press, then it would be *two* tall hobbits in addition to all the others...

Hmmm. Or like one of those clown cars at the circus, and how *do* they all fit in there?

Would somebody please get a brick to prop that door open! I wonder exactly how many people can fit in a linen press, anyway? This is an interesting chapter, because even though the hobbits are grim, thinking Ferdi fallen over a cliff or into a pool, I keep chuckling as more people keep letting that darned door close behind them. You could always call this chapter, "Three's Company (but Eight's a crowd)"

Author Reply: Am seriously considering titling the chapter "Two's Company" seeing as how Rose thought just Daisy and Frodo were in the linen press... and in the beginning it was two hobbits as well. Your title is very clever, even if you meant it in jest!

A lovely chapter. Everyones actions to the little one are adorable - but I especially enjoyed Daisy's.

Author Reply: Ah, thank you. I think Daisy-Day will fit nicely into the Gamgee family.

I think that linen press is getting rather full of hobbits! Is there room for anymore? I loved the little interlude about Merry and Estella! I was starting to wonder what they were up to. :)

Author Reply: There might be room for more, but that will have to wait for another story, if ever. Don't want the joke to get old, as it were.

Now that is one full closet and I only hope that Pippin doesn't walk in and forget the door too as Nell is so very worried. This is just wonderful! I wish I had a closet that size, think of the storage space! Envy.

Author Reply: I could really use that kind of storage space too, but mine would probably be so full there'd be no room for hobbits. (Making mental note to start weeding and decluttering again)

Oh my - PLEASE tell me the door isn't going to somehow close again as I do not think the linen press can hold one more hobbit! And if it is indeed over, I certainly hope fixing that door will become high on Sam's list of things to do -LOL!

*grins*

Anyway great chapter - and now if everyone is going to get out of that linen press I suggest Ferdi get to his wife as soon as possible so she can stop worrying about him!

Author Reply: I think fixing the door ought to go to the top of the list, and I don't think you could keep Ferdi from his Nell a moment longer, or Nell from her Ferdi for that matter.
