Lalia Took's Pride  by Larner 3 Review(s)
TariReviewed Chapter: 4 on 10/15/2010
She lucky to find anyone to help her. One day she'll run out of relatives. Someone should give her a chill pill.

Author Reply: Oh, but you are right. She does not appear to have been any too loveable a person, after all. And it does not appear her eventual death raised a great deal of pity for her, but more for her nurse and her then-current Took handmaiden, Pippin's oldest sister Pearl.

Avenged, eh? Salt in the sugar bowl, perhaps? Or some other prank, but so subtly done that the close attendants (who suffer most from Lalia's sharp tongue) cannot be blamed...

Author Reply: No, not salt in the sugar bowl. See http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=3966&cid=26141 to find out how Reggie managed it. But there was no question of one of the attendants having done it.

What a contrast!

Frodo and Bilbo know that it is wise to think before you talk and act.

Lalia, however, just shouts out when something does not suit her. Maybe it always worked for her that way. But from Bilbo's words I would deduce that this time it will be different!

Author Reply: Oh, yes, this time it was indeed different. Vengeance was Reggies, if you will remember! Heh!
