Hmm. Not a good sign, her unwillingness to take part in the planning. Glad Faramir is watching out for her.

Author Reply: Nope, not a good sign...

Thanks!

Poor Goldi, I would have felt the same way. That truly is a mixed-blessing of news.

‘I’m not so fine at speechmaking as some hobbits you may know – the Mayor comes to mind…’

The young Gamgees cheered for their father.


Adorable. I can imagine that so clearly.

Author Reply: It is a mixed blessing, indeed! I think the only thing that might have satisfied them would be for their parents to send for them to join them in Gondor. *sigh* What a story *that* would make!

Thanks!

Goldi's reaction doesn't bode well. At least she has Farry to watch over her. Glad that they were (mostly) able to alleviate disaster.

Author Reply: You're right, it doesn't bode well. You've got to watch the quiet ones...

Thanks!

Hurray!!! It was one of the good days. Those days are treasures indeed. I am looking forward to the next part.

Author Reply: Good days are treasures, indeed.

Thanks!

Farry watched, without appearing to watch

I know exactly how he feels, going through this with my own parents now. Pippin is the heart of such a loving family, it makes my heart happy.

Author Reply: Sorry... been there myself.

So glad this could give you a lift!

Thanks!

Oh, such a scene of family bliss combined with the work of the Thain and the difficulties that Pippin faced for so many years, in your stories at least. It's a bittersweet scene, but I really like moments like this. It really gives depth and reality to the story.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Author Reply: *sigh* Life is bittersweet, actually, which I guess is why when we write as "real" as possible, it comes off sounding that way. You do that very well, yourself.

Thanks!

It's so lovely to see Pippin surrounded by such loving care, though sad to see he needs so much of it; yet at least we readers know there are much better days to come eventually!

Author Reply: I'm not sure I'd have the heart to write this period if I did not know what the future held...!

Thanks!

I rejoice that it is indeed one of the good days. And a blessed Palm Sunday and Holy week to you! I'll be heading down on the morning of the fourth, it appears.

Author Reply: Blessed Holy Week to you as well. Easter, already! Where is the year going, and how does it manage to go so fast?

Thanks!

The news of the impending arrival of the last of the Mayor and his wife's children, as WE know, along with Pippin, of course. Love the idea of filling a parlor with a gross of luncheon guests! Pippin is in his glory with this news, I know!

Author Reply: LOL! Such a grand announcement! (And yet, done in the privacy of the Thain's quarters, so that Sam and Rose's children can have the luxury of bursting into tears, if need be, at the news that their parents will be long delayed in returning, and not worry about how it looks to the gossipy Tooks.)

Oh what great fun to see a new chapter of this--and how wonderfully well this chapter fits with your drabble story "How to Make a Match"!

I love Pippin's high spirits at Sam's news--and of course *we* know what that is! *chortle*

Author Reply: Thank you! I had actually tried to put this information into "Match" but it was just too hard to fit it into the drabble form. So this will be a companion of sorts, where I can be as wordy as I wish. Hah.
