| I am glad to see this continue. Yes, I caught the paraphrase from Ruth and agree it is appropriate. Nicely styled! Author Reply: Thank you for reading and commenting, Lynn H! I appreciate it, and am happy you liked it. | |

| I love it! Especially from Ruth which I like to quote myself, even the part about dying and burying because that is likely how it happened with Frodo and Sam. Welcome back! Hopefully the muse will be kind to give you more soon. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Thank you, Antane! I'm so glad you liked it! Don't know when the muse will strike again, though when it does, it doesn't take long to write. | |

| Oh my goodness! Each chapter is a wonderful play on words and the bible. After reading all the other reviews, I agree with every one of them. I am going to add, please don't wait so long for your next story. You have a wonderful way with words. I have just read your other story, now I'm off to leave a review. Kind Regards Glalthil Author Reply: Galathil, thank you for reading and commenting! I'll pass on your kind words to my brother, as well. The inspiration for these just seems to strike randomly, so who knows when another might emerge. | |

| (Reminds me of the time a bunch of us started writing "The Council of Elrond" as might have been penned by various authors. Longfellow, Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss... Author Reply: I just love that sort of thing! Which was how this all started...the very first bit of LOTR fic I wrote! | |

| Another wonderful addition! Please do whatever you must to ask, beg, plead, for more of the tale to be told. :) Happy Easter! Christ is risen! He is truly risen! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Yes, this really is DrummerWench's brother. I appreciate the positive reviews. Since the bug seems to strike every two years or so, it is possible that more of these might show up. The difficult part of this one was conveying Gollum's dialogue without quoting directly or making it unlike something the KJV translators would not have recognized. And yes, cloke is spelled correctly. As Drummer has indicated earlier, if you grow up with the King James as the version you hear every day, it is easier to get in the rhythm. It doesn't hurt that Tolkien's English isn't too far removed from the Jacobean, or that the canon was written as though it were a translation of an archaic text. | |

| How well your brother weaves the story and the KJV language together. | |
