| “Your older cousin can be most stubborn.” Merry returned the smile, though with teary eyes. “Yes, stubborn enough to make it to the Cracks of Doom. But he doesn’t fare well against Sam. Sam always has been able to get Frodo to do what he ought to do.” :) If there's nothing more stubborn than a Baggins, it's a Gamgee watching over a Baggins. I hadn't thought before of the connection of Merry helping bringing down the very creature who had tried to make Frodo a wraith. I just never connected the two events, but of course it's the same person. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Liked Aragorn's description of the slaying of the troll and what happened to Pip after that. This chapter just gives one the feeling that there is much ahead that is not going to be pleasant. Cathleen Author Reply: Thank you, Cathleen. That's an accurate assessment I'm afraid to say. | |

| Poor Merry! He so needs to know all these things, yet he's almost going to have information overload--Frodo, Sam, Pippin, all needing his concern and care. I'm more than a little worried about what Aragorn's *not* saying, and I have a niggling suspicion about it. He seems to think he'll tell Parsow about it--I hope this means we readers will find out before Merry does. Author Reply: Hi dreamflower! At least when Frodo and Sam wake up, Sam can share some of the load :-) I think things will be clear to most readers by the time we let good old Merry, as well as Frodo and Sam, know what is coming. Thank you for reading and responding :-) | |

| Oh my! Poor Pippin - but Merry has the strength to help him. Great chapters so far! Looking forward to more! Author Reply: Thank you so much, Agape! They will all be needing strength, mixed well with the love of friends and kin. | |

| I know you hinted as to what you wanted to convey in this tale, but...I am still utterly astounded. LOL, and I'm glad I don't know the half of it! As you know, I love the element of surprise -- and I am surprised, but then again, writing is your natural gift. :-) This story is absolutely brilliant, Pearl. I can't even pinpoint any exact part that I liked the best because I'm loving ALL of it. Poor Merry - having to be the one to receive so much bad news while he's still healing himself. Hmmm...I wonder just how long it will take for Aragorn's last bit of information to come out into the open... Parsow's character is growing by leaps and bounds - I really like him. This is one of the best Cormallen fics I've read so far, and I know that there is so much more yet to come! *Eeally* looking forward to more!! PF Author Reply: Thank you, m'dear! I hope it won't disappoint as time goes on. Aragorn's info will come in it's time. I'm soooo glad you like Parsow :-) I like your "Eeally" looks like my typos :-) | |

| I do like Parsow! He is definitely making a place for himself among the great! But Aragorn's information! And he's not telling everything - healers never do. Minimum information you can get away with ... Strider looked deep into Merry’s eyes. There was more. A fear that niggled at his thoughts. Did Merry really need to know when there was a fair chance that nothing would come of it? And yet, who better to watch for any symptoms? Could be a mistake, Strider! (Although I daresay Parsow will pick up on anything. Hopefully. He has a trained eye - but, when it comes to Pippin, Merry has a very, very honed sense of anything being out of place.) Author Reply: Thank you, my dear! I'm so glad you like Parsow :-) It's situations like this that I have always felt must be hard on healers/doctors. Do I say what might be or only what I know is? If I say what might be, will they begin to see it, even if it isn't there? We'll just have to see how it goes . . . | |

| Oh dear! What was it that Strider did not say? I'm really worried about that! Well, I don't expect an immediate answer, of course ;-) And Parsow is back! I really like your OC! Thanks to you and to Golden for yet another wonderful story! Author Reply: And thank you for reading, Andrea :-) Everyone will find out eventually what isn't getting said. I'm glad you're happy to see Parsow. | |

| So, nerve damage is indeed possible. And Aragorn is right--this is more than enough to be getting on with right now. Poor Hobbit--Pippin is going to be in for a time of it. Author Reply: Yes, it is. They all will have a lot to handle soon. Glad to see you Larner! | |

| “Sleep well now and awake when you will. You have no duty to attend other than the welfare of your friends.” What a wonderful beginning, Pearl and Golden! I'm certain that Merry (and Sam as well) will be the best medicine Frodo and Pippin could ever have... along with a kind yet determined healer-King, and a certain compassionate apprentice. Author Reply: Thank you, shirebound! We're hoping so. Rough times are ahead and we're all eager to see how our hobbits handle them. | |
