| Oh, dear--we are muddled, aren't we? Poor Tolly, and poor Meadowsweet! Author Reply: Definitely muddled. Poor hobbits! One has to hope the author will have pity on them. | |

| Poor Tolly! I hope someone notices he's gone soon - although they'll have no reason to suspect he's gone off to search for poor drowned Ferdi. It's all been a bit much for him. (Hardly surprising, really. Probably the only thing that keeps Ferdi from having a breakdown is all those bangs on the head ...) Author Reply: Yes, poor Tolly, especially since it turns out that Ferdi "drowned" four years ago, rather than two, so it's even more distant in the past. That's it! To keep a hobbit from having breakdowns, simply bang him on the head periodically. They ought to have tried that with Frodo. Perhaps he wouldn't have had to sail West after all. | |

| Oh, poor Tolly. I almost feel sorry for putting him through this! Seriously, he's quite muddled, isn't he? This fever that is going around is very nasty, and then when you combine it with his grief and guilt and anxiety, he could be in real trouble. I wonder how long it will be before he's missed, and how much longer it will be before someone thinks to consult the milkmaids? And I wonder if that bank is any more stable now than it was two years ago? As always, I'm glad to see a new story starting. Write on! (And I meant to ask - any new stories coming from the young ones? I love to read their efforts too.) Author Reply: Are you a "voting" member of the MEFAs? The little ones have stories there, under the author names Glassadar and Dinossiel, in case you'd missed them in the crowd. (I feel as if I can say this as I'm not pushing my own stories...) Mmm, lovely review, good food for thought, especially as the story is not yet outlined and anything can happen. Thanks! | |

| Uh-oh. Poor Tolly, already delirious...well, at least he was *seen* riding out, even if the maids don't know why... Author Reply: Yes, it's a good thing that Wren is distinctively smaller than the average pony. And great of heart. Poor Tolly. It's time to spread the h/c around, I'm afraid. Whew. Thanks! | |

| Ooh great start Lindelea. Can't wait for more. I am feeling sorry for Tolly already. I do hope that life doesn't get so busy and stressful that writing has to be abandoned and the same wish for myself on the reading front. Author Reply: Thanks for the good wishes, and I will turn around and send the same wish off to you, for it is pleasant to share the fireside and not just sit here talking to myself! And so long as EF is sitting on the new chapter of "Thain" and Bill the Pony is snoozing, I might as well dabble in this story. | |
