Peregrin and Diamond  by Pearl Took 108 Review(s)
Grey WondererReviewed Chapter: 22 on 7/24/2006
I dearly love your Sam! He is my new hero. I want to know someone that knows the things Sam knows. He would have made a good Thain or a good Master but most of all he makes an excellent friend.

Author Reply: Thank you so much, GW! Wow, you have made my day :) We could all use a friend like Sam ;)

What horrible things to happen this day but what a lovely description of love.

Author Reply: Thank you, harrowcat :)

Persimmone is a mean wench alright!

Awww! That indeed is a very special wedding gift! As far as I know, siblings have never been good at conveying their softer feelings for one another. I thought the book was a very creative idea for the Took Sisters to come up with. ;-) Sweet Pippin will be very well taken care of for a very long time. :-)

Author Reply: I know of siblings that once they are older get pretty good at being friends, and even affectionate, but yeah, they usually drive each other crazy :) Thank you so much, Pippinfan!

I love the idea of the wedding present. I do think most husbands should come with instructions. It's a grand idea all around.

Author Reply: Thank you :) That is one of life's problems, so little of it comes with a manual - although even when someone does write one, they often don't help all that much, we're too unpredictable, LOL

Thank you for all your encouragement, GW :)

That was entirely too funny! I loved every word of it. Merry was such a tease which is exactly what I would expect from Merry. I loved the fact that Paladin got in on it too with his line about the whip. Bravo yet again!

Author Reply: Thank you, thank you, GW! The scene with Merry was new and has gone over well, I'm glad to say. I couldn't let Merry have all the fun ;)

From tears to laughter in the space of a page.

Most masterfully done, my dear hobbit-chronicler.



Author Reply: *blushing* Thank you, Lin! I was needing find words today and you have supplied them. Thank you so very much :) :)

I love the idea of Merry and Paladin sitting there watching over Pippin and Diamond - chaperoning them as they sleep. And the morning teasing is well-deserved - Merry can't tease Diamond, so Pippin has to take it on the chin.

It's probably a very good idea to go back to Bag End, but I reckon Eglantine is a hero to agree to it.

Author Reply: For some reason, folks just seem to feel they need to watch over Pippin ;) He has a wonderful father and a wonderful first cousin.

I think it was very hard for Lanti to not have them with her, to not get to be in the thick of things as she would otherwise. But, in my Shire she's a healer and she would know it is for the best.

Thank you again, Bodkin, for reading and your kind responses. They mean a lot to me :) :)

LOL!!! Go, Lanti!

This chapter was particularly fantastic! I LOVED the teasing the Merry gave his Pippin! I didn't recall so much last time, but I thought it was beautifully done in this one. Pippin's reactaions to Merry's teasing was fabulous, and Merry acted all so naturally--I suppose he's had more experience at ribbing Pip, lol.

The scene with Pippin and Diamond (just after the nose bleed, lol) was lovely. I think you can write romance extrememly well! Not too soppy, neither stiff. Exactly perfect. :-)

Enjoyed it all!

Author Reply: Aw, thank you, Pippinfan! You know how important the kind words on my writing romance are to me :) :)

The whole bit with Merry was new, there was none at all in the original version. I'm glad it fit well :)

Oh, that was PRICELESS!! However much Pippin and his sisters might tease or torment each other, it does NOT pay for an outsider to tackle them!

I loved Pervinca's gleeful counting to twenty each time, ROFL!

And finally, dunking her rear end in the water and then marching her into the middle of the dance floor? No doubt in the minds of anyone there that she had gotten on the wrong side of the Took lasses, and no more than she deserved, the wretched little witch!

Author Reply: Thank you, AspenJules :) One oughtn't mess with the Tooks ;) I thoroughly enjoyed writing this bit, hehehe

Uh oh! I don't know what I dread more... what Persimonne will try to do, or what Pippin will do to her when she tries it!

Hoo boy - fireworks ahead!

Author Reply: The evil Persimmone gets what's comming to her, be assured of that!

Thanks so much for responding, AspenJules!
