Peregrin and Diamond  by Pearl Took 3 Review(s)
BodkinReviewed Chapter: 19 on 7/17/2006
I think Pippin's refuge is a great deal more sensible than Diamond's. Although I suppose she is the one who is on alien territory. And isn't it amazing how so little can build into such a major kerfuffle!

Still - now Pippin gets a chance to rescue his beloved - and then nurture her, according to Merry's training, with warm blankets and ginger tea. And they can discover that making up almost makes the quarrelling worthwhile.

Author Reply: Pippin definitely has the advantage of knowing the lay of the land, so to speak. I've always found it interesting how often arguments do start over piddly little things.

You're quite prophetic . . .

Thank you so very much, dear Bodkin, for reading this story and responding so faithfully :)

First, I love the way you've discribed the library. I could just see it! I also enjoyed Pippin's talk with his father and the story about the red bedroom. I continue to look forward to each new chapter of this one.

Author Reply: Thank you! Dreamflower (my editor on this rewrite) said I should write a story about why the library has "man style" windows. I just might have to do that ;)

Thank you so much, m'dear GW, for staying with me on this story and for leaving responses :)

I *loved* this chapter! Hehehe...I love *every* chapter, but there was something very special here; couples overcoming their selfish desires to love their spouse/intended all the more. I wish that happened more often in RL.

I do like your Paladin--he's very resaonable, caring, and has no problem telling those he loves how much he loves them. The moment between him and Eglantine, him and Pippin was absolutely sweet! Got me misty. :-) I can see that your Eglantine is an extremely reasonable lady--she likes *red*! ;-)

I can't wait to see the younger couple get back together again!

Author Reply: Yes, it isn't the way RL often goes, more's the pity. There are authors who have written their Tooks (and other hobbits) more realistically, but I'm a sucker for happier Tooks and Brandybucks. I've always felt that Tolkien wrote his hobbits a bit idealistically, with exceptions like the S-Bs and Sandymans, but mostly easy going, happy, loving folk.

Red is a wonderful color ;)

Hopefully you'll have another chapter soon :)

Thank you so much, dear Pippinfan, for reading and responding so faithfully!
