A very beautiful story, Pippinfan!! I don't know that I've ever seen a story about this point in their lives. And I love that you have Pippin being an intelligent lad who is interested in studies.

It was a momentous question to contemplate, and a necessary one.

But I never thought to wonder WHY Isembold's descendants were ignored. I know Dreamflower's story of a disaffection causing them to build their own family home elsewhere; but that his like would take precedence over Adalgrim's son just never struck me. Interesting.

Thanks for giving me more to think about.

It may mot have mattered too much to the Quest if Pal had decided otherwise but we would have lost one of the wonderful complexities that the Prof wove into his book. I have always loved the idea that Pippin is the heir to the Thain of the Shire who keeps it in Stewardship 'until the King comes back' and is the one who ends up in service to Gondor and her King.

What a wonderful father figure you paint PF. Concerned to take into account the thoughts and feelings of his children.

Author Reply: Thanks, harrowcat! I so agree with you on your first point!

I do like to put those two together, and because I imaging them so close, it would be hard for Paladin *not* to know how his children feel. :-)

Thanks for reading!
