I like a musician that knows his limits.

Author Reply: I do, too. So often we inflict our worst on others--it's nice to see someone who tries, but who finds ways to practice far away from those who would be irritated by his possible caterwauling! Heh!

Thanks, GW!

Very tricksy of the Captain. ; )

Author Reply: Well, we know it worked, don't we? Heh!

Thanks, GW.

Dear, dear, Sam. Lovely.

Author Reply: Oh, you know I agree about Sam. Glad you like it!

And so the Mariner's wife has waited through all the ages.

Author Reply: And that is so true, Harrowcat! Thanks!

Whew, I can see this challenge is really going to be a challenge! Add a new word every day--pretty soon the prompts are going to take up a quarter of the drabble!

Author Reply: Tell me about it! I'm already doing drabble and a half here--I suspect it will be rather longer by the time I get to 24 objects!

You are doing better and better at these!

I love the hopeful imagery you show here, of the eager wife awaiting the arrival of her husband. She's trying to make it as romantic as possible.

Author Reply: He tells us that at the beginning, before she grew so miffed at being ignored, Erendis loved her husband deeply. And I do think she'd do her best to make things romantic. As Crown Princess she has access to things such as the court musicians--with the moon overhead, I think at least on occasion she'd take advantage of things to try to set the stage! Heh!

Thanks so, Dreamflower.

Great chapter! One of the reasons I really like your stories is because all of them(exept the AUs) go together and once you introduce a charactor(sp) they keep on being mentioned and appering in different stories so you really get to know them. Also because you stick so much to the books and making it belivable(like it could happen in ME) I tend to imagian that that is what really happened, because it fits in with Tolkiens writing and it seams like his(exept that thankfully you put in more(one wild gess!) Dunadine!).
I think that Aeiluin is Gilfilegs sister and that she and Halbarad were married and had a son who was about 8 during RotK. I can't think of a name for him though. But he is very smart, if a bit mischivious at times.
God Bless!

Ps. If I don't reviw for a while, it isn't because I'm not reading your stories, it's because I'm studying for the geographic bee(I want to make it to the National Geographic Bee, 'cause it's my last year).

Author Reply: Even my "Go Out in Joy" tends to work in with the others in spite of being AU. I have one AU story that I started a few years ago and have left rather simmering, and it sort of fits in with the others as well, if at a rather odd angle.

I hope to have the the next chapter of "Stirring Rings" finished soon, after which I'll get up the next chapter of "The Tenant," as part of what happens in the former will dovetail into the latter, I hope fairly nicely. And there are Dunedain, of course, in both those chapter.

Well, it's going to be a most interesting month, and good luck with your Geography Bee. Remember where Wake Island is! Heh!

And I'll think on Aeiluin and Halbarad and their son!

I like the fact that Frodo has laughter and friends in the West. :)

Author Reply: I agree, Shirebound. If anyone deserves such things, it is Frodo Baggins!

I'd still listen, at least until it got too painful, then I'd laugh with him and hug him. :) At least he had fun and that's the important part! Elanor Silmarien I think wrote a story about him playing the piano and he did a beautiful job at that.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

*grin* Very clever! I like the idea of Frodo sailing about blithely in his own little swan-boat!

Author Reply: I do, too. I had this given Frodo after he came to Tol Eressea, and Livwen taught him how to sail it. I think that he would love sailing, once he had the chance to do so. Am so glad you share the delight in Frodo just enjoying his new life!

(By the way, he named it the Narcissa.)
