| Now this is what you get when you have a language problem! Love how Bill thinks of Sam - little being with pots and how much he loves him and how he likes to be around Elves and even that 'smelly man'. I hope this misunderstanding gets figured out soon and that Bill understands that his Sam would not betray him like this. Poor Gimli - he just doesn't get along with horses does he? But Bill had better lay off Asfaloth since that horse is the reason Frodo survived to make it to Rivendell so I can't take kindly to anyone who doesn't think well of him. Gimli's version of events should be most entertaining! Namarie, God bless, Your impish cousin :) Author Reply: Hello Antanemir, Oh dear, me dear, you are taking the Bill/Asfaloth thing a bit too seriously... Don't be too hard on Bill the Pony though, he's only at loggerheads with the 'prissy elf-horse' because this here author didn't know the names of any other horses residing in the stables at that time - and it's all meant to be light-hearted fun, cousin dear!! But I'm happy you like his adoration for his 'little master'. The gardener's probably the first friend Bill's ever had and even when he feels 'betrayed' by Sam, he still is reluctant to take hasty action that may bring him harm. Aww. You've got to love that pony, really.... Cousin Mo. | |

| Oh, this has me grinning so big! "...this bulky mini-man with his hay beard and several pound-weights of clanking metal perched on his back..." Perfection! I love Bill's POV, and look forward to finding out what the menacing Gimmie is after. :) Author Reply: Hello Shirebound, I'm absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed it! I've tossed the idea of Bill story about since I finished 'Concerning Sam' and decided that 'the Gimmy' would be his perfect adversary (after Asfaloth). It was great fun to imagine how he would perceive his surroundings and what he may call hobbits and men. Elves he new by their race because they can somehow 'communicate' with animals, but he's never spoken to a hobbit or even seen a Dwarf before, so it was s good challenge! As for what the Gimmy is after, I hope to fill you in on that before this time next week. Thanks for R & R-ing. M ;) | |

| *chuckles* That Bill is such a very hobbity equine! Loved how speculated on the possible edibility of "the Gimmy's" beard! And then there were his thoughts on the prissy elf-horse with the fancy name... XD The image of Glorfindel trying to get his balking horse to follow his directions because said horse is too busy serenading trees is ... hilarious XD Author Reply: Hello Sunny, You're right on the mark with the 'hobbity equine' comment - I nearly called the stoey "The Hobbit Horse', but didn't know how it would go down. But Bill is a rather simple wee soul - and I mean that in the best of ways. His sheltered (albeit neglectful) existence in Bree does have an air of naive hobbitry about it. Until he meets half the pre-Fellowship, and later the magnificent Asfaloth (who he thinks is too big for his boots). I think there's a bit of jealousy going on between him and the elven steed (mostly on Bill's side though). Thanks for the read & the review. M ;) | |
