| This was an abosulutely wonderful tale. I shall have to read more of your writings. (This comes from one who loves the Elves the most.) Tari | |

| So, the visitor is Pippin. Well, this was well deserved, and she has no idea just what she was saved from or what he survived. Dear Pippin, and the poor lasses, with such a mother. She is an idiot, though, and deserved to be eaten by a troll if anyone did. Heh! | |

| And all too soon Paladin Took will be Thain, and Pippin will have that role after him. Poor Pippin--but I think in time he'll come to like the Great Smials after all. | |

| I see that Dora's much vaunted Kindness resides in the breast of Meriadoc Brandybuck, and I love him for it. And a nice bit of gentleness after the angst of the last few chapters. | |

| Most certainly Begonia deserves some happiness with her own family at her time in life. As for Hyacinth getting her--I shudder at the prospect. Yecch! | |

| Slough off the fool, Reggie. You don't deserve misery of her sort! Lovely that all should fall to nothing for her, and that Merry gets his desired visit with Pippin. And poor Pearl--stuck with those awful pearls. I'd have been tempted to strangle Ferumbras with them, myself. | |

| And from here on in we get to see the silly fool destroying her remaining life with her husband, do we? She is only fortunate Primrose's arrival kept her from becoming a murderess. | |

| She was saved by the knock on the door moreso than Pippin himself, I think, although she'd never think of it that way. Well, well done. And love Lindelea's "flash-forward," I do. | |

| Oh, Hyacinth, you vindictive Hobbitess of little worth! No wonder Reginard would wish you elsewhere--you and everyone else! And the Thain has cleared Pearl's name! Wonderful for him. Poor Pearl! | |

| Finally I get to finish this! I love the way Begonia stood up for Pearl, and I'm so glad that poor lady gets to go and live with her relatives who will love her as she deserves. But of all the nerve! What a gift for poor Pearl-a necklace that belonged to Lalia! Like a pretty little trinket will make up for all that mess! Merry did right to apologize to Amethyst. All three of those girls really do deserve pity. It wasn't their fault they had Hyacinth for a mother, and I'm glad they had the chance for a fresh start in the end. I really would love to see a glimpse of them post-New Reckoning, especially Opal. Dear Frodo, ever the loving and supportive elder cousin. To read stories like this makes the dreadful time in Mordor seem all the sadder to me, though it's hard to say just why. I know I keep saying this, but again, little Pippin is just adorable! :) So Thain Peregrin himself was the visitor. That conversation needed to be had, but I find I pity Hyacinth after all. What she almost did is appalling! but what a wretched feeling to realise one has wasted one's life, and to believe that there is nothing that can be done about it. Can she be redeemed yet? I'm afraid there doesn't seem to be much hope, but if she could just let go her bitterness and hate....*sigh* Congratulations on finishing this, and on crafting a tale that has provoked laughter, tears, and much thought. I've enjoyed this very much and can't wait for the next gem! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Yes, Begonia will get to have a well-deserved retirement among loving family. Ferumbras is not so much "nerve-y" as he is clueless. He knows that Pearl was done an injustice, and she's a young lass, and lasses like jewelry, and so that should make it all right? Right? Yeah. He honestly does not understand. I show quite a bit of Opal's recovery in "It Takes a Took", my Pippin/Diamond romance. Since Diamond's an apprentice healer, and Opal wants to be, they strike up a good friendship. It helps that Diamond never *knew* Opal and her sisters while they *were* still brats, so she doesn't have any of that to "get over". So, anyway, if you want to know a bit more about Opal, that's one place I've already written her. Well, it's because we know that even though his heart is still as full of love as ever, the self-confidence and promise he showed was damaged by the Ring, and he will never be able to be quite the same as he was. He was chained to what he perceived as his failure at the Sammath Naur, and he couldn't let that go on this side of the Sea. But at this point in time, he is really rather at the height of all he could want--Master of Bag End, and well-loved and popular. Hyacinth has learned at least *one* lesson--that she cannot blame Pippin for all her trouble, and that she never really stood a chance of displacing him. But I do not know if she will ever let go of the rest of her bitterness. She really is a very selfish and proud creature, and not hobbity at all... I am very glad you have enjoyed it so! It was a fun and different story to write! | |
