Oh, Lin, I loved this!!! I put it off a bit as I didn't want to face the usual "gloomy gus" Frodo. What a wonderful surprise!!! You have a happy, sly, loving Frodo - much more the way I always pictured him being for most of his first year home.

MEWD!!!

Author Reply: O good, we're still thinking along the same lines. I liked giving him a peaceful year in the Shire, marred only by anniversaries. I'm sure he savoured peace, and watching the Shire grow green again, and life resume its pattern. That's the way I wrote him in "A Short and Passing Thing", anyhow, which sort of spun off this chapter and the next two.

Author Reply: oops, meant "Small and Passing Thing" but I was trying not to type "Long and Passing Thing" which is something of a joke between EF and myself.

a Favourite Nephew who works hard to reassure his favourite Aunt and Uncle! Lovely Picture with the flowers.

Author Reply: Thank you! I love that picture--I can see it in my mind's eye, an echo of when Frodo was a little lad and brought his auntie fistfuls of half-wilted wildflowers.

And someone is already smitten, after all.

Good to see Frodo already seeing to it that Pippin is prepared for the day when it is he as Thain, and I suspect he already is starting to realize he won't remain all that long.

Yes, Frodo the Slender, slated to grow moreso that way before he finds himself again.

Author Reply: Yes, Frodo is looking ahead to the future, although I don't think at this point he completely realises--I think that happened after the October anniversary, more.
