To Lasso a Lass  by Mysterious Jedi 3 Review(s)
DreamflowerReviewed Chapter: 2 on 8/5/2005
An interesting take on why Hamson chose to become a ropemaker. I like the way you depict the sisters and brothers in this chapter. I hope that Dandelion will prove worthy of young Hamson.

You mentioned the age difference: at 25, Hamson is about 16, which would be a good age to begin an apprenticeship, and a good age to become interested in lasses. At 24, Dandelion would be approximately 14 and a half--a good age to become interested in lads, yet definitely an age at which her father would think her too young for any real courting.

Very good beginning. I look forward to seeing more of this.

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked the family interactions. As for the ages, I was just sort of guessing. How are you figuring those out? Thanks for reading and commenting.

Aha--now the choice to become a roper like Uncle Andy begins to make clear sense. Still think Boffin is a bit above himself.

Author Reply: Yes, Boffin is pretty arrogant. Some people are just like that. Thanks for reading and commenting (again).

Ah, Ham in the throes of love. Hope she is worthy of him, although, of course, her father is a bit above himself.

Author Reply: One must not judge a lass by her family! Thanks for reading and commenting.
