The changes must have been difficult to accept, much less appreciate. They want their sons, but what they have back are much changed and have been tried by fire. That they would bear some of the soot of the forge as yet is perhaps to be expected, I suppose.

"He stood a long time gazing into the face of his sleeping son."

This whole chapter has a very beautiful, haunting quality to it - hard to describe, and this last sentence is just perfect.

Wonderfully done, Lin. Artistry.

Author Reply: Thank you so very much, Pearl.

(Takes one to know one.)

'The fruit never falls far from the tree.' and 'Like father, like son.!' You can definitely see Merry's parentage in this chapter. It is awful loving so much and not being able to do anything but stand by and watch. No nightmares and sleepwalking is an excellent sign that things are slowly getting better.

Author Reply: Things are getting better. I think Frodo's little talk with Merry has set him on the right path. Too bad Frodo couldn't do as much for himself. *sigh*
