I love everyone warming up after the doggies rescue the children. And I loved all the things for market day--I felt I was in the excitement of the market with them and how generative such an exchange can be--something that gets lost in our consumerist culture--you really caught the richness of material cultural exchange. I loved Arwen being the best archer and the line about why--all that Elvish practice time. Hehehe! And Pippin working through the issues of allowing and then not allowing the snowmen to visit the Shire. And Pippin and Merry's delight in Frodo's healing at the end.

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I loved imagining and writing about market day. I really hoped to convey how much each culture appreciated how the others' goods were unique, well made, and desirable.

How I love writing about hobbits. They will always charm and enrich my life.

*hugs you*

Another enchanting chapter! Sorry it has been so long since I have had a chance to review it.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get to this, my dear shirebound. I love the ending - Frodo's joy and the light shining so brightly just as Gandalf guessed it might - love how you described it and Merry and Pippin's reaction and that Sam already knows the big secret. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: the light shining so brightly just as Gandalf guessed it might... That's exactly it! *happy bounces*

Thank you so much for your sweet comment.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! A surprise for Aragorn! As a great lover of Aragorn and of surprises, your chapter just made my evening! I can't wait to see what the surprise is. I'm sure it will move Aragorn very much.

Author Reply: I hope I didn't write that part badly! The surprise is *from* Aragorn. Actually, he has two surprises in store that I hope you enjoy.

amber was sacred to their people, and only the leaders of a Ruling Clan were permitted to wear it.

Hmmm, I have this feeling that they might make an exception when it comes to the King Elessar :)

And now I'm dying to know what that surprise is!!

Author Reply: You're right... they just might make an exception! :)

it was as if the light from the Lady’s starglass had moved inside him, somehow.

How wonderful - even more so because Merry and Pippin are able to see it :-)

And still we have at least two more events to look forward to: the contest and the surprise!

Author Reply: Knowing that there are so many folks who find joy in Frodo living healed and loved... *happy bounces*

Thank you, Andrea. I'm really delighted that you're enjoying this tale.

Ah, Aragorn has a surprise in store for everyone. Can't wait to find out what it is. And that was shrewd of Frodo to tell them about the pearls that had been lost. I'm sure there will be a good deal of horse trading over those pearls now. *grin*

Author Reply: I'm very glad you like the idea about the pearls. I'm sure the visitors have been trying very hard to come up with something they could offer in trade for horses.

Aragorn had one surprise planned even before he left Minas Tirith, but since getting to know the visitors, there might be something else as well.... :)

Oooh! Secrets! I love your secrets! I can't wait to find out! (But I guess I'll have to!) ;)

Author Reply: Awwwww, thank you. :) Aragorn and I hope you enjoy his surprise(s).

It is good to see the Snowmen so accepted. I would love to read a sequel in which Aragorn and the Hobbits visit them.

Author Reply: I would love to read one, too! I've planned, when I post the final chapter, to invite folks to write their own tales or short scenes about that if they're inspired to do so.
