Oh, a quick and quiet Hobbit hunter! Rather like my Filamonda! Heh! ("Hunter" is one of the classes that Hobbits can play on LOTRO, after all! Which reminds me - I mentioned her in an earlier review I think. I haven't written a story about her yet, as such, just playing her - and a few friends - in the Lord of the Rings Online game :) ) Anyway, I like your use of Q words here!

Author Reply: Thank you so! Haven't played the LOTRO games, I fear. But I hope to "meet" Filamonda someday!

Very clever use of the several meanings of quarrel.

Quickly, we have no qualms at quivering with laughter at Author-Queen's pen quilling of quirky quips and queerily quiet hobbits questing their quotas of quail hiding in quilts of leaves.

Don't words beginning with Q look quaint after a while?
I am glad that my efforts are giving you a giggle.

Author Reply: Yes, I am laughing openly!

Hope all is well with you. This last week before Christmas has had its ups and downs, for me. Have an infection and a broken rib to deal with, and it was my older brother's 71st birthday on Monday. Have a tree up and mostly decorated. Now need to get up and going after getting V written and posted.

no matter how the many quaffs of beer or ale he might have taken makes him querulous or quarrelsome, the quality of quietude instilled within him from his birth still protects him from detection

Great! I'm amazed how many "Q"-words you have found!

Author Reply: Thank you so! T was actually about the hardest I've done, surprisingly enough.

Ha! Quietude and quixotic in the same paragraph -- impressive! If only someone could have been speaking in Quenyan, too... :-P

Author Reply: That would have been wonderful, but didn't see how I could fit that into the situation with Hobbits. Heh!

the quietude instilled within him from his birth

I like that.

Author Reply: I did manage to fit one more Q into that phrase, I found. Am so glad others appreciate it!
