A Matter of Appearances  by Lindelea 5 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 4 on 8/15/2006
And if only the deviousness of the plan had worked! Now, how is the plot of the treasure seekers to be foiled before Farry finds his head bashed in? Hurry, rescue! Hurry!

Author Reply: Such a lovely raft of reviews. Very encouraging, and puts the Muse into a good mood. It is so helpful (as you undoubtedly know) to catch a glimpse of a story through another's eyes.

Uh-oh.

The best laid plans of Tooks...

I hope Pippin and Merry find some reason to go looking!!

Author Reply: You're back!

*hugs*

Missed you.

Get well soon.

Will have another chapter of your beta for you, I hope, a little later.

Ooops! 'The best laid plans....' most often go astray! Especially when certain Tooks are involved it seems.

BTW I would never ask you to give away plot points! *Grins* Now, really, would I? *giggle*

Author Reply: Yes. My mom often used to say "Best-laid plans gang oft aglee" which I think was Scottish for something-or-other.

Never, I'd never believe such a thing of you. Go ahead and keep guessing--sometimes it is actually a help when the author sees half-a-dozen paths looming ahead and needs to choose which one to follow.

Ah, the cruelty of it all . . .

Dallying us about at Great Smials while out on the road . . .

You keep leaving us at the mercy of the ellipsis . . .


Lovely Merry-Pippin banter though :) :)

Onward - must have more!!

Author Reply: I'm a terrible one for ellipsis, I am...

Am managing a chapter every-other-day, so far, I think.

Think good thoughts!

Since this came, I thought I'd better read the chapter before to catch up. You have now left us hanging two chapters! INDEED, the ones waiting at home have not become concerned, yet. Is it all up to the wits of a ten year old Hobbit and wise mother pony? Oh, my!

Author Reply: And likely to be hanging for one more chapter, unless chapter five splits itself for some reason. Will do my best to keep it all together.

Yes, it is all up to the wits of a ten year old hobbit! Hope he takes after his father and cousin Bilbo!
