Only a Second or Two  by Larner 280 Review(s)

Very nice clincher, since so many of these (all?) deal with Frodo Baggins. I particularly liked the "tomorrow"... "today"--since Frodo's getting increasingly "elvish" I think his perception of time would be changing.

Author Reply: No, not quite all dealt with Frodo, but certainly a good majority of them did.

Yes, I agree about his appreciation of Elvish time-sense changing.

Thanks so for following all of these! Now, to get back to OTHER projects!

Good for Merry! I'd buy him a drink for that, but I don't think I'm old enough by Shire reckoning of ages.

Author Reply: Well, Pippin was drinking in the inns at twenty-eight, and appeared to be well aware of the quality of beer at the Golden Perch in Stock. I doubt it would have been too much of a problem! Heh!

As for me--don't know if the card folks in the Shire, but I doubt they'd do so with me--am definitely looking my age!

Merry's comeback has to be one of the best I've heard in a long time!

(Leave it to that hobbit to find the right word at the right time... LOL!)

(Though on second thought perhaps that hasty, almost thoughtless response left Frodo wincing. Poor Merry.)

Author Reply: Merry had the right word, although Fred is unlikely to understand, and as you noted Frodo is wincing terribly! Ah, but such is life!

Well, the last drabble for this month is finished, written, and posted. I hope all enjoy it, as it's quite angsty.

Oh--rehearsal for concert? Ooh!

I'll try to see about lunch....

Got Tales from the Perilous Realm today and The Maps of Middle Earth--now have full representation from both Alan Lee and John Howe. The former is actually just a compilation of Tree and Leaf, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Roverandom, and Smith of Wooten Major, so it's not like I don't have the works separately, of course. What makes it worthwhile is that Lee illustrated it. The maps were done by Howe, and has commentary by Brian Sibley.

Life continues on in fits and starts, of course....

Thanks so, Lindelea.

Yes, indeed!
More please,

Author Reply: One more in this series, and as Dawn Fegalund had the prompt posted early, I have it already written and posted! This series is now officially closed!

You tell him, Merry!

“He was saving the world.”

Perfect answer!

Author Reply: I would indeed think it was indeed the perfect answer, Cairistiona. Thanks!

*claps and whistles*

Author Reply: Merry bows deeply in return!

Thanks, Shirebound.

That tells them off! :) They should be glad they just got away with his words instead of The Look also.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Heh! You have it there, Antane! Thanks for the giggle!

Oho! Good thing Frodo has relations looking out for him!

Author Reply: Oh, I agree, Celeritas. Thanks!

Just how the Sackville-Bagginses could live with them selves I just do not know!
More please,
Lynda

Author Reply: Ah, but thankfully Lobelia isn't replicated all over the Shire! One of her was ENOUGH! And she did repent at the end, for which we can be grateful.

Love to you!
