| Sorry, Larner, haven’t been much at home over the last days and getting behind in reviewing more and more. To see the name Angrapain here was a little surprise. So that one is trying to get away? He didn’t learn his lesson well, I fear – still thinking himself above the law and more clever than the Rangers? Well, he will get a nasty surprise then. And he should remember Aragorn’s sentence: If you are seen anywhere but in her presence, you will be hung summarily. So I think we know what’s to follow for him in the end. And he chose the perfect companions. Bill Ferny! Somehow that pleased me very much, as that means that guy will get his final comeuppance, too, I guess. Oh, and Bill broke his leg when he kicked him? Very good :D And I see that one has no idea who Strider is. I hope you will give him his clue! *grin* Hm – Angrapain still insists that being close friends and loving each other implies more? *shakes head* Some people obviously can’t see further than their own very limited sight of the world. Now I only hope these three thugs don’t hurt Holdfast – and I was rubbing my hands in glee when Boboli returned with Halladan and the others and they realised so fast that something was wrong. Maybe they saw tracks of the shackles? Can’t wait to see how they take care of the situation – and certainly look forward to Angrapain seeing Halladan again, who knows him very well! Author Reply: I've been pressed for time between work and everything else myself! Who am I to judge? Yes, Angrapain is going to probably face the very fate I'm certain he thought would never come his way. And it was fun to work Ferny into this, although I rather like some of the fates others have imagined for him, too! As for what will happen to Holdfast--that we will be learning soon, I hope! Thanks so very much! | |

| Eeek! Obviously it's time for Sam to throw another apple - or worse - at Bill Ferny! Author Reply: Oh, I do think you might well have the right of it, Cookiefleck! Heh! | |

| Angrapain hasn’t learned a thing, has he? Halladan is certain to have gotten a report from Aragorn on him and the terms of his punishment (and if he hasn’t, I am certain Alvric knows more than a bit). And the company he is keeping now isn’t more likely to see much mercy from a judge either. I _do_ hope Holdfast comes out of this more or less intact. Well, whether or not he _does_, rescue is already on the way. :-) And I expect both Angrapain and his newfound “friends” to find out just _who_ those ragged-looking Rangers, and the even more suspicious Strider, are. Do you think your muse is likely to heed any prodding toward _Stirring Rings_? I know there is likely to be quite a few chapters before you get that far, but I am interested in finding out what will happen with Maglor, and I won’t find _that_ out before those intervening chapters are written… Not that I mind her Dol Amroth distraction, though ;-) Author Reply: If you remember, Halladan was there when Angrapain received his judgment from Aragorn, so he knows what's what with the fool. And you're certainly right about the company he's keeping as well, and how all of them will have quite the lesson about those raggedy Rangers. Will be working on Stirring Rings again next, I think. But the plot bunnies and nuzguls are multiplying around here so! Heh! | |

| Ooh Larner, I am very glad to see this updated. I knew that we hadn't seen the last of Angrapain & co. Please don't leave us too long to find out what happens next! Author Reply: Now to find out what these three have earned for themselves! Am working on the next chapter to Stirring Rings, first, then this one, I think--unless this one grabs hold and won't let go, of course! | |

| *grin* Oh wow! We get to see Angrapain finally get his real come-uppance, and Bill Ferny as well! *grins some more and rubs hands* Looks like Angrapain hasn't learned a thing. Not that I *really* expected he'd learn much except what it was like not to be able to tell people what to do. I'm glad he decided not to kill his mistress, even if for selfish reasons. And the idiot still has not figured out yet that not everyone is motivated by the same things that he is. A lot like Sauron, or Saruman. It really leads to underestimating others--especially those percieved as "lower" than himself. (And to that sort of mentality, almost everyone else qualifies as "lower".) I forgot about your disposal of Bill Ferny, and I'm afraid I don't remember who that other man is. So it'e interesting to see them enter into this escape attempt. Author Reply: I had never detailed the disposal of Bill Ferny--I just figured that once the folk of Bree realized that the Rangers were the King's folk they'd denounce Ferny, particularly if it were known he'd been hiding out in the Shire. They might not be certain what Bill had done there, but they had to be certain, knowing him, it was nefarious, so of course he'd most likely end up on a road gang. I never introduced the other man--just one taken by the Rangers for highway robbering and intending not to learn from the experience or accept the chance for redemption, who instead will go for about anything nefarious! I just hope that Holdfast doesn't end up getting hurt along the way! | |

| Oooh! A cliff hanger! I love how you bring strands from your other tales into the current one, weaving such an intricate storied web. :) I do hope that this time around Ferny does buy it... but, so far, he's like a bug that no amount of stomping seems to kill. It was good to see the alert for this chapter come up, as this is one of my favorite stories! Another well-deserved "Well Done!" for this one! Author Reply: Am so glad you're continuing to follow this, Rhyselle. And you know me--I'll always weave them together, I think. I suspect this is the last chance for Ferny, although once it's realized what he did in the Shire he may be in for a true awakening. And, yes, a cliff hanger in this one! Heh! | |
