| *sporfle* Of course, given Aragorn's many achievements and many names, this sort of thing must have happened pretty often... Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased this made you smile. | |

| Yes, THIS is the Aragorn we love--the true King, who seeks to set right what he unmeaningly has set amiss. Beautiful, Linda. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. That is why we love Aragorn indeed!I'm pleased you enjoyed this. | |

| That is indeed a very good portrayal of why Aragorn was such a good and wise king. He felt it was his duty to serve his people, and not otherwise. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. That is why I love Aragorn too and am pleasured you felt I captured that aspect of him. | |

| A good exploration of kingly responsibility; the reeve obviously did not care much for the people of the village; while Aragorn, lord of all the realm of Gondor, took on responsibility for the health of the boy he had inadvertantly injured as well as the welfare of the boy's family. A nice chapter! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked the chapter.I would not be surprised if the reeve was soon looking for a new job! | |

| This chapter is proof positive why Aragorn is so awesome (if you will forgive the Americanism) a king. I'm reminded of the tale of the corrupt aristocracy in pre-Revolution France in which after a carriage trampled a peasant youth the lord who was riding in it merely tossed some money out the window behind him (as if that would solve the problem of his heedlessness!). Aragorn's actions show the exact opposite here, to the point of delaying his arrival at a feast for the care of one youth! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked my portrayal of Aragorn as I truly feel he would help the most lowly of his subjects just as he helped the Hobbits. | |

| Oh, I'm so glad he managed to get in a tale of Hobbits! And they certainly needed to get away from protocol to a time of delightful tales such as this. And am glad Faramir got to hear the laughter rather than more poetry recited badly. Heh! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I think it would do Aragorn and Faramir good to spend more time with young children. | |

| I liked the original vignette very much, and this extended version even more. You painted a most charming and captivating portrait or Aragorn entertaining the small children. As I've always imagined Aragorn as someone who loved children was good with them, I was, of course, most delighted with this story. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed the story in its more polished form. | |
