| And trust a hobbit, any hobbit to finish with an invitation to eat! Great Bodkin Author Reply: Well - you have to get your priorities straight! Pippin is fine, after all - and mealtimes mustn't be overlooked. It would be very rude to be late for dinner! | |

| Eeeeeee, this is absolutely delightful!! I love stories in which Gandalf interacts with young hobbits (especially Pippin!), and this is such a sweet moment for everyone involved, with just enough foreshadowing. The love between the cousins is especially nice. And this line: ‘Thank you for dropping by,’ he said. Gave me such a giggle :D Author Reply: Glad you liked the line! Corny, I thought, but irresistible, even for a wizard. It's a very simple tale - but a good first encounter. About a year before the Birthday Party, I thought. And for all Merry finds Pippin exasperating at times, he is very fond of him - and will always be grateful to Gandalf for breaking his fall! | |

| Do you know,’ the big person said, inspecting the cousins carefully, ‘I rather think that might be the very reason I have come.’ He smiled and shook his head. ‘A Brandybuck and a Took. It was, I suppose, inevitable.’ How very far-sighted of Gandalf!! Lovely little story.LBJ Author Reply: Thank you! Well - if anyone is going to be far-sighted, it should be Gandalf! And you sometimes wonder how he recognised who was going to be important and who was simply living their lives. But a good moment for him to turn up! | |
