| A terrifying aftermath. And the idea of Bill fainting is fascinating. Good Bill--realizing this is one burden he'll not let fall if he can help it. I love the relationships between the Pony and the Hobbits, and his growing trust of Strider as well. Lovely writing. Author Reply: Well, I didn't quite mean that he fainted, although if a pony had any reason to, Bill certainly did, and it could be read that way. (Now you have me wondering... do ponies faint? Will have to ask my horse expert. LOL!) What happened was he tried to run, and tripped on his hobbles. He might well have broken his neck, or taken a fatal blow to the head as he went down... thankfully he didn't! | |

| The description of Bill trying to move as smoothly as a cat stalking a mouse is wonderful. And so is the rest of it, too of course. I liked the way that the athelas brought brught back happy memories of foal-hood for Bill. Author Reply: Thanks! It seems as if an intelligent creature like Bill ought to have some reaction to athelas. | |
