| Ah, so Legolas was made to eat his words after all! ;) I really like the way your words flow, and how enjoyable it is to read this story. The Glittering Caves of Aglarond sound beautiful. Author Reply: Thank you. How I wish we all could truly 'see' all these places for ourselves. | |

| Pippin's Standing Silence, a custom he had learned from Faramir (he did, didn't he?) was an especially nice touch, I think. I'm a Faramir nut, and I'm glad that you've kept him very in character. Preserving old customs would be just like him. Author Reply: Indeed, Faramir's influence is far-reaching... even into the heart of a young hobbit. | |

| Oh no... did the Witch King leave so heavy a mark on Merry? Once again, I love the dialogue. The hobbits are very in character-- you've managed to capture them perfectly. Merry's grief was also touching. Author Reply: I greatly appreciate your kind words. I love writing dialogue, especially when it comes to hobbits. | |

| Lovely. You write beautifully, and I like the dialogue between the hobbits and Eomer. The "ceremony" was very... meaningful too, and your description of Rohan breathtaking. And now, I shall go to the next chapter! Author Reply: Thank you, Violin Ghost! | |

| I had to laugh at the Hobbits bequeathing the best of the Shire to those poor Rohirrim - their cuisine! Perfect. What a good way to end, everyone trying to tie up their loose ends, finding resonance with each other's experiences (Ring/Palantir addiction, the two noble Hobbit knights, "I had to ask one more time") - and then back to Bilbo, where it all began... Author Reply: Thank you, Aprilkat. I do try to tie up loose ends whenever I can. Lucky Rohan, getting Shire recipes to help in their post-War healing! | |

| *sigh* I've kind of been putting off reading this last chapter... to make it last a litle longer. But I finally have a little uninterrupted time and read it. It's so good! I love the fond, slightly funny farewell. As dreamflower said, it was emotional without being maudlin. Favorite lines: “They really need them,” Frodo said firmly. “I don’t wish to disparage the cooks at Meduseld, but...” “And better dressed,” Pippin grinned, straightening Frodo’s velvet tunic. and finally The hobbits embraced him, then stepped back and bowed in unison. “None of that, you rascals,” the King chuckled. “Go on, now.” “We’ll miss you, Strider,” Sam said for all of them. “And I will miss you,” Aragorn said fervently. Oh... and just about every other line, lol. Wonderful. I'm just glad I have a new Quarantined story to look forward to... and talk over with you. Author Reply: Thank you so much, I really appreciate seeing the lines you enjoyed. And I can't wait to see *you* in person! :D | |

| Drat! The story ends - it was such a lovely tale and I've enjoyed every word. *sigh* Parting from Aragorn must have been very difficult for the hobbits and is one reason why I like to write about them keeping in touch. Thank you for this, Shirebound. Another wonderful visit to Middle-earth. Author Reply: Thsnk you, BB. How I love writing about our hobbits. And I always bounce with delight every time *you* gift us with another wonderful visit to Middle-earth! :D | |

| The Hobbits parting from ARagorn must have been very hard.When I first read the book,it was an edtion without the appendices to tell me that threeof them remain friends with Aragorn for always, This has been a most enjoyable story, thank you for all the pleasure you give ! Author Reply: I didn't know there had been any editions without the Appendices! They really enhance the story, and fill in so many gaps. I'm very happy you enjoyed this. | |
