| A most enjoyable chapter. I felt as if I could see the room and loved your scene for Eomer and Lothiriel. One tiny typo you might want to fix "she pulled the quilt strait" should be "she pulled the quilt straight." Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the typo. I have corrected all the chapters and now need the time to repost. LBJ | |

| Hmmm he needs the money, she has a dowry. She may be really angry when he finds out how much he needs the money. Esp. since she seems just a little bit frightened of him, because she's not sure what he wants. She's thinking, no way, he might have a girlfriend somewhere. Author Reply: I don't think she's ever met any man like him before and is unsure. Thanks a lot for reviewing. | |

| She does have a good deal to tame in him, doesn't she? Heh! The room sounds breathtaking! Author Reply: Well, I don't want her having any old room when they finally get together. Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ | |

| Oho! We have more sparks flying, a knowing Éowyn, an almost apologetic Éomer... wonderful! Author Reply: Thanks. And thank you for taking the time to review. LBJ | |

| I enjoyed this chapter very much, not least as I live in a town known for salt!I hope Lothiriel gets her apology from Eomer. I enjoyed the first view of the Golden Hall and the humour of Lothiriel's and Eowyn's bedtime conversation. Author Reply: Thanks for the review. I am not sure why the salt got put in, but I seem to like those little details. LBJ | |

| I am often glad that this site lets us post more than one review per chapter. I had forgotten to add that I very much like your inclusion of a living mother for Lotheriel. Tolkien's stories are full of grieving widowers and dead mothers. I suppose he grieved his whole life for his own mother. But surely some of them lived to grow old in peace! And your Mrs. Imrahil and her daughter are doing just the kinds of things I would expect them to do after such a war. Very nice! Author Reply: I like to try and devise a different Lothy each time. And I have been meaning to include her mother. Thanks a lot for the lovely review. LBJ | |

| Oh, yea! Another Lady Bluejay E/L story. I believe that you and Lialutherveril have the greatest variety of different versions of how those two might have met and courted. Both of your stories are some of my favorite Middle Earth "drugs of choice"! Back in the Sixties and Seventies when I was a girl,my mother read a lot of "Romance Novels". A lot of what Harlequin Books printed then, a lot of Barbara Cartland and Georgette Heyer. Mostly a LOT less graphic than what is on the book-stands now, PG 13 rated, really compared to now. One of my favorite formula stories involved variations on this; a plucky, bright young woman takes a job as; a governess to a gloomy young widower in a remote estate; or, a personal assistant to a domineering but brilliant corporate captain; you get the picture. The employer is insufferably blunt, rude, bossy, etc. They have a few volcanic, very entertaining confrontations, after which he grudgingly begins to respect, then finally love her. This tale reminds me of my favorites of my mother's "Harle Q's". I will particularly be following how you develop Eowyn. Is she really cold and rude, or merely hurting and proud? | |

| Well, he's listening and so indicating that his attention is truly caught by Lothiriel. I wonder when he's going to make it clear to his people that he's planning to claim her, not that his own haven't begun to pick up on which way the wind's blowing. Lothiriel just doesn't take all that in on a conscious level as yet. Heh! Author Reply: I am not sure he really knows himself quite yet. Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ | |

| Eomer does it again! Poor man, has he got a lot to learn about dealing women, or at least this woman in particular. I hope Elladan stays in Rohan for sometime! Author Reply: He will be there for a little bit longer.Thanks a lot for reviewing. LBJ | |

| Oh Éomer - all too ready to jump first and ask questions afterwards... if at all! It makes for a very good tale. And I do like the foil provided by the sons of Elrond in this story very much. Author Reply: A little elegance to Eomer's roughness perhaps. Thanks for reviewing. LBJ | |
