Weaving Dreams  by Larner 2 Review(s)

How the other lasses must have envied her (in a good way of course)!

I've never heard the expression "to embroider upon" before. I like it how you use words with double meanings to describe the work and the thoughts of a person (as you did in the story with Pippin and the pottery).

Author Reply: We tend to give double meanings to so many terms in English. Am glad to add to your appreciation for our language, as confusing as it must appear at times. And with so many of the prompts given on Tolkien Weekly, playing with multiple meanings for the prompt words seems to fit so well!

Interesting how Pearl already considers Frodo to be her 'intended' before he's even gone to the trouble of proposing. Certainly that's the cart before the horse.

Wonderful and personal view into this character's thoughts.

Author Reply: Oh, I suspect she feels they have an "understanding," although it's not yet fully formalized. And it was fun to look at all the different characters involved in this small drama. Thanks so, Adonnen!
