| Ooooh, a 'healer's pendant' that responds to her touch, from Uncle Gimli. What a fabulous idea. Every positive compassionate act is important in its own way How lovely, BB. What a warm and wonderful tale. Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed - you win first prize yet again for being the first reviewer. I figured Rosie's 'name stone' might be appropriate and responsive to her. | |

| I love this! Why shouldn't hobbits make good Rangers - they have an awful lot of the qualities needed. And seeing a Goatleaf defeated by a hobbit - poetic justice, that's what it is!! Author Reply: Glad you like this - i think Hobbit Rangers would be a logical progression. Yes, a charmless member of the Goatleaf clan being dealt with by Hobbits. Definitely poetic justice. Sorry it took so long to reply - phone line was out for over a week! | |

| Ah, it was fun to see the Hobbit Rangers in action! Erithain would have been proud, no doubt. I am glad he got to witness their oath. Hmmm ... Goatleaf? Well, what could one expect, with *this* name? It runs in the family, obviously. He underestimated the Hobbits. And what is worse, kept them from two meals. A reason for harsh punishment, no doubt *grin* Author Reply: I'm sure Erithain would have been very proud of the way his two young friends dealt with this. Yes, what can one expect from someone called Goatleaf? Never underestimate hobbits - and don't keep them from their full compliment of meals either! Deserving of the greatest punishment, keeping a Took from his food! | |

| I think hobbit Rangers is a perfect and highly logical development. After all, they already had the bounders. Loved this BB. Author Reply: I'm so glad you think hobbit Rangers would be a logical development - particularly after meeting so many of the Dunedain. Glad you liked it. | |

| I love it that 'iddle Freddy Took grew up to become a Ranger just like Erithain! And I do love the way that he and his cousin dealt with Goatleaf (any relation to the late unlamentable Harry?) I do adore it when hobbits deal with trouble in such a competent and no nonsense fashion! Author Reply: 'iddle Fweddy just had to be a Ranger after spending all that time with Erithain! Glad you liked the way he and Torni dealt with Goatleaf (yes, he is a relation of the late and unlamented Harry!). I think hobbits would deal with trouble in a no-nonsense way - especially if they'd already missed two meals! | |

| Hobbit Rangers!! I love it!! Wonderful, BB, wonderful! :-) Author Reply: I figured Hobbit Rangers just had to happen one day, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. | |

| Aw, young love! I love Merry and Pip buying a farm together. Well done, Baggins Babe :-) Author Reply: Yes, young love is rather sweet, isn't it? In my story 'A New Road' I had Merry and Pip Gamgee buying a smallholding together and I had to explore things a little more. | |

| Wonderful BB!! BTW, you do know you now have to write out the story of Freddy swearing his oath in front of his Ranger Captain friend, right? I'll send Rufus to sleep on your head and tickle your nose w/his tail if you don't. :oD Really a wonderful little vignette. :o) Author Reply: What a terrifying threat! ;-)) I expect I shall get round to that story soon. Glad you enjoyed this one though. | |

| At the end of their training they were presented with their swords and a new cloak pin, designed by Frodo - the Star of Arnor above a gold and silver mallorn tree. The King himself came north to do the honours and was deeply moved and proud when they went on their knees before him and swore their oath of allegiance. Oh wow, how awesome. Author Reply: You win the prize for first review yet again, Shirebound! You must be the fastest reviewer in the west! :-)) Glad you enjoyed. I thought they should have a different and distinctive cloak pin and I could just see the mallorn tree. And of course Strider had to be there for the oath-taking. | |

| Absolutely wonderful! Of course Sam's sons would grow up not afraid of hard work, and ready to treat others with respect. And I enjoy seeing the many ways that "Uncle Fro" is able to enjoy Sam's children in your little world. "Sigh!" The way the good professor "should" have written things if "Real Life" were not so really sad. I will be looking for more of these snapshots. Author Reply: Yes, Sam's sons would undoubtedly have grown up unafraid of hard work, and full of respect for lasses. They would feel the tea towel otherwise! I love being able to have frodo there, enjoying his extended family and watching them grow up, safe and unafraid. | |
