| I love that Theodwyn is so feisty and yet she still is soft and tender and that her fearsome warrior husband is just a wee bit fearful of dealing with his formidable wife. | |

| How utterly unfair to leave off at such a critical moment....... But, I'm anxious to see what becomes of it. And, my goodness, if I was Eomund, I would have to agree with Theodwyn's choice not to reveal anything. More because I'd be worried about how much I could be being made a fool of, but also because that kind of thing is, well, private. Author Reply: Yes Eomer it is unfair to leave it at that point...and Theodwyn is being loyal to her husband, not to join in the gossip. More soon. Eokat. | |

| Wow! What a cliffhanger! No pun intended, sorry. Reminds me of those cliffhanger stories they used to show at movie theaters and used again on early TV where I saw them (when I was a very little kid!). I'm anxious to find out which three boys fell off the high side of the wall and if they or any of the other boys are seriously hurt. And if one of them is Eomer.... I like your glimpses of Eowyn and Eomer in the kitchens and Eowyn not liking to sew. Typical little children and very sweet. I'd like to see more of Theodred and his interactions with his cousins. That is the only thing I'm missing in this story. I'm so glad you are continuing the story of Eomer and Eowyn's childhoods. Orcs and Babes is still my favorite story about Eomer and this is just as enjoyable. Thanks for writing them! Author Reply: Thank you Donna. I am glad you are enjoying this. Yes I am going to re-introduce Theodred into the next chapter, watch this space. Eokat. | |

| I recognized the wifely scene. Women tell one another stuff that would make men choke. My best friend's husband once asked her how in the world someone else had come to tell her something and we both laughed because it was the kind of thing that women just tell. Anyway, the boys appear to be in trouble. From their point of view, they were just having a good time, but from the adults' point of view, they wandered into danger when told not to. And then, of course, the wall appears about to collapse. Not good. Author Reply: I agree Daw, women DO speak so, when we get the chance!!! 'Boys will be boys,' as they say, and yes,they have got themselves in a dangerous predicament. Eokat. | |

| I don't know, Eokat. There was some great content in this chapter, but it all seemed to fly by so fast. I think there's enough here that you concentrate on certain moments more, like Eomund telling Theodwyn that someone else will be taking care of the children, and maybe come up with enough to split this into two short chapters or go for one long one. Anyway, glad to see Theodwyn is going to recover. It would be really angsty if she stayed ill for the next three years. Author Reply: I had to see Theodwyn recover, Eomer, as you say it would have been TOO much. I have taken on board your other comments. Eokat. | |

| I can see the future Eowyn in this Theodwyn, and that's good, I think. I liked the image of the little boy creeping into the king's bed with his undoubtedly icy feet. They tend to sprawl all over the place too. How nice fof Theoden! Author Reply: Yes, Daw, Eowyn is certainly her mothers daughter. I have to agree, thinking back to my own son at that age, yes they do sprawl all over the bed. Eokat | |

| Sorry, meant to write this review long ago, but kept getting sidetracked. Anyway, I loved Eomund's reaction when Theoden spoke of him bringing Theodwyn *home* to Meduseld. He must love her dearly to get snappish with his king over a little slip of the tongue. I would have though Theoden to resent that just a little; after all, he is very fond of his sister as well. Is this illness going to be what eventually claims Theodwyn? I always imaginied her as being so wrought with grief over her husband's demise that it devestated her body. Though, I'm sure either way Eomund's death didn't help matters. Oh, and, how did Theodwyn suffer a miscarraige? You'd think Eomund would have kept her relaxing and in bed as much as he could. Author Reply: Thank you Eomer, yes Eomund is rather protective of his wife, even to his brother-in-law, no matter that he is KING. Theodwyns miscarriage is incidental and as she does not die for another three years...who knows. Personally speaking in reply to your last paragraph, a woman is more likely to miscarry up to the 12th week, after this period a full time confinment is usual. Eokat. | |

| I had feeling you would update today. Glad the feeling was true! Same as Daw there, I love the picture of Eomund searching for a doll. I am relieved they made it to Meduseld with out much trouble. (Excluding the doll incident, I suppose.) You write Theodred as a very fun character. Now that they're in Edoras, perhaps we'll see more of him? *big pleading eyes* (And I simply adore the name of Helm.) Author Reply: Thank you Kitt, your feelings do you credit. Yes, there will be more of Theodred, I always think of him and Eomer as brothers.Eokat. | |

| I love the concern for family shown here. And Eomer is just as cute as he can be. I also like the image of big strong Eomund off in search of a doll! Author Reply: Thank you Daw, yes family is important to the Rohirrim, horses next,and I love Eomund looking for the doll also. Shows what a loving father he is.Eokat | |

| Sorry about the lack of reviews. I've been out of the reading loop for a little while now. Anyway, Orcs and Babes ended sooner than I would have liked, but at least now we have this. You still seem to me as someone who understands the Rohirrim rather well, as can be seen in the family dynamics of Eomund's household. Little Beoring should learn the sacred virtue of honesty, like the rest of his kinsmen. :) Author Reply: Thank you Eomer, glad you like the new story. I plan to make this one longer than Orcs and Babes. Beoring is not such a dishonest youth, more he was feared of his father to tell truth. He will learn. Eokat. | |
