| But it was Frodo who spoke. "I do not like this. There was something untrustworthy about that fellow." Cliffhanger!!! Maybe the rangers will find out that it would have been much better if they had taken Merry and Pippin (and Frodo, of course) with them. What will happen next? I'm really curious! My wife wants to call it The Cat and Fiddle, after a song she heard once." Frodo blushed, and Merry and Pippin put their hands over their mouths to stifle their laughter. LOL!!! "Cat and Fiddle" - splendid idea ;-) BTW, when I was in London two years ago I found a pub called "Cat and Canary" - British humour at it's best :) Author Reply: I love to name inns and taverns! As you will see, you were probably right! *grin* | |

| I read these over at Marigold's and am so glad that you have posted them here too. There is a song echoing through my mind...one that has the phrase 'get me to the church on time!' I can quite understand Estella's mother's concern. After all, last time he went off he was away for a year! Author Reply: Why thank you for taking the time to re-read them here! Ah, yes--from "My Fair Lady"! Rosamunda is going to be rather worried about this, I think--but at the same time, it will make things easier for her to make plans, which Merry is going to return too late to change! LOL! | |

| Another tale in your lovely AU made my day. How wonderful to see Frodo returned, healed and raring to go. Just as well, before Merry's future mother-in-law drives him to distraction! Love the recipe - hobbits would be even more baffled than the rest of us I should think! Author Reply: Yes, this is the way I think Frodo would have been without the Ring's influence, full of curiousity and good humor, and with the Tookish side of him coming out to make him seek Adventure. And Estella is very wise to keep Merry away for her mother for the next few weeks! It certainly would never occur to them to cut potatoes like *shoes* of all things! LOL! | |

| Trust you, Dreamflower, to put a recipe into this, and such an unusual one at that! Yes, just right for Frodo as he prepares to write his book for real. Author Reply: Yes, trust me to take any opportunity to write a recipe!fic, LOL! And I just could not resist that darling recipe--so simple and hobbity in its preparation--except for the detail of the shoes! *grin* | |

| Yes, this is our Frodo, close as wizards indeed! And it's wonderful to see him happy again, and thinking of their commitments. Author Reply: It is fun to see him happy and full of mischief, and yet still taking his responsibilities to them just as seriously. And he *does* like keeping a few secrets to himself.*grin* | |

| So *that's* why Frodo didn't want Sam along. :) And he has his appetite back! It would have been so wonderful if this had been the way it had been, but of course it was all meant to happen the way it did and that wasn't bad either once he healed and was happy again. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Yes, *that's* why! *grin* After all, Frodo *did* get that little glimpse of the future, and he knows! Of course the way it happened in canon was a much deeper and more true to the themes JRRT presented--but we get to play around with just making everyone happy, LOL! | |

| Great for Frodo to meet these people without the veil of gloom that swamped him before his trip west! He must feel all light and skippy, like a spring day filled with daffodils and crocuses. Although encountering potatoes cut into the shape of little shoes might make him wonder whether he was quite as well-balanced as he thought he was. Author Reply: Oh, I do love your description of his state of mind, and you are not far wrong at all! *snicker* Well, it just might if everyone else at the table had not seen them as well. Honestly, when I saw the little recipe that inspired that bit, I did a double-take myself! I can't imagine what, in RL, would inspire someone to cut their potatoes into the shape of shoes!! (On the other hand, in RL there are crackers shaped like little goldfish, vitamins shaped like cartoon characters, and noodles and dry cereal in just about any shape you can imagine. LOL!) | |

| Getting Merry out of Rosamunda's way is probably a very good idea for mother/son-in-law relations. But he'd just better get back in time! Author Reply: You are quite right. Rosamunda's not really so bad, but she's the managing sort, and she has her heart set on the wedding of the century. Frodo always keeps his promises. Still, it could be a very close thing... | |

| Yes indeed, if he were to have that little name-sake early next year, it was quite important that Sam and Rose have a bit of time together right now. *Grins* Now that *is* a good reason! I'm glad that Frodo is healed and merry again and that he and his cousins are now given the chance to have a "proper" adventure. Thus, all three of them can replace their dark memories of their first trip to Rivendell with the light ones of this perfect voyage. I like "Eucatastrophe" stories :) Author Reply: I *thought* it might be a good reason, LOL! That's exactly the reason they are taking this trip. This will be a chance to experience a much less traumatizing journey, with the confidence they have gained from having been there already. It will help a lot. I like them too! *grin* | |
