Dear Sam! 😂

Well, that was all way too complicated! :-P Everyone needs to just decide not to be trying to spare each others’ feelings….

I enjoyed this very much - thx for sharing!

🤦🏻‍♀️ This story is going so well….

‘All’s well that ends well’ is probably *not* a helpful addition at this point, Gimli! :-D

And Frodo… just stay quiet for a minute…

Well, he’s not making it that easy for them to tell him - between scolding them and not letting anyone get a word in edgewise…. At least wait until you hear the story before you start in on them! :-D

‘Fell into a mattress stuffed with sweetmeats…’ 😂

Poor Sam, so distracted by the new height difference. I mean, I get it - I’m sure I would be too - but he just keeps coming back to it!

It’s probably good that there will be others around to distract Frodo while he’s hearing about things like, oh, stabbing Witch-Kings and falling under trolls…

Very wise, Sam. Let's get back to the more fun parts of what happened! The darker side needs to be known - but, at the moment, the power of Ent-draught seems a lot more the kind of thing they should be pondering over round the fire.

Author Reply: I'm in complete agreement. And how about opening another bottle of that reasonably good wine? Sounds like a plan.

Thanks!

Thanks for a story that gives satisfaction for some of that unfinished business that got left out of the books. (Is that reference to Merry almost letting a childhood Pippin drown from one of your other stories? I don't recall it.)

Author Reply: Funny, I was going back through my list of stories to see which were unfinished, and ran across this review that I don't remember seeing before. Could be SoA, or my email... don't know.

But yes, I remember reading that bit in the book and being left wanting more, especially of Gimli's finding Pippin!

The reference to the childhood peril, where Frodo had a cold, and Merry was supposed to watch Pippin, is an unwritten story somewhere in the back of my mind that seems as if it ought to have been written down somewhere, but I don't think I got around to it yet.

Thanks!

"Legolas laughed. ‘Look at you! Elves, having all the time in the world, are more straightforward in their discussion than you all are proving to be!"

Well done!! How often it really is better to simply say a thing outright than to try to hide it away.

Well done, Lin!

Author Reply: I am *sure* I never saw this review before tonight! Wonder if I got sick, or over-busy, or if my email went wonky as it so often does?

Thanks! I loved Legolas teasing them about giving yea and nay for an answer, in a manner of speaking.

Well at least that much is cleared up if not exactly absorbed! No wonder Frodo is going to wake up in the middle of the night! A group effort that has got the general picture put together even if the details like Ent draughts are still a little hazy! :)

Author Reply: I've had times like that, when the revelations were flying thick and fast and I thought I had the picture, only to wake up in the middle of the night seeing clearly in the dark stillness...
