Dreamflower's Mathoms II  by Dreamflower 4 Review(s)

A great explanation of how Boromir lost his horse. I can very well imagine that such things happened to him.

Maybe it was vanity that made him take the stallion, or was it the fact that Theodered called it "very spirited"? Some men react promptly to such "key words" ;-)

Anyway, the distraction worked very well!

Author Reply: *grin* Thanks! I'm glad you think it plausible!

I am quite sure a certain amount of vanity was involved, though I'm also sure it was of the subconscious sort. Clearly, however, he was not too vain to admit his mistake to his hobbit friends.

Ah, good one! This is a very believable mishap, and one that suits Boromir's character very well.

Author Reply: Thank you, dear! It seemed believable to me, and I'm glad you see it so. And it's kind of nice to think that Boromir's horse, at least, did not die.

Oh, dear--that indeed proved quite the story! Trust Merry and Pippin to seek to distract the Man as they did, and bless him for recognizing it--until the Ring again recaptured his attention, of course.

Author Reply: I am quite sure that these two, focused on Frodo as they were, would be highly attuned to anything that would affect him-- especially in the attitude of a comrade. And they'd do their best to alleviate the situation.

Unfortunately at this point in time the Ring was simply growing too strong for Boromir.

Nice to see a happy interval in this difficult part of the journey.



Author Reply: They were on the River for several days; I'm sure that there were at least a few lighter moments, especially with hobbits among them. I'm glad you liked it.
