Merry frowned. "How do we know she's a she?"
There was a pause. "Because she is," Pippin said firmly at last, with undeniable drunken logic.
You've convinced me: the White Tree is a "she"! And I like her laughter at the end of this story! She's not an Ent, nor an Ent Wife, but she's a living creature - and she did appreciate the hobbits' attempts to talk to her.
A wonderful story, thank you :)

"She's not an Ent, nor an Ent Wife, but she's a living creature..."
Yes! Yes! That was exactly what I was getting at! Thank you!

I bet Nimloth's descendant is mightily amused by the antics of two decidedly drunken hobbit officers. The idea she was laughing is hilarious, and that she responded to and echoed Frodo's in a moment of lightness is wonderful.

Absolutely Darling Citrine! That could practically be cannon it was so dead on! I really enjoyed that a lot. Shirebound is a veritble fountain of Plot Bunnies from what I've seen here in Arda! What's her website?

*Blushing* Aw shucks, you flatter me. Here's her stories page, which should also lead you indirectly to her Shirebunnies page if you scroll down a bit. Enjoy:-) http://shirebound.tolkienshire.com/index.php

This was priceless! Not least the thought that the young tree might only say 'Goo'!!!!! I loved her laughter - who wouldn't laugh at Merry and Pip, especially when they attempt a little Entish.
I love tipsy hobbits and obviously Frodo is used to steering his cousins about when they've over-imbibed. Good for Frodo.
Wonderful story.

That was great! I love drunken Merry and drunken Pippin. I also loved the last word from the tree. It might have talked to Sam if he'd have known the proper things to say.
Author's reply
Heh. Good theory, I never thought of that. But then again, she's just a sapling-he probably wouldn't have got much more of a response than 'Ha ha' or 'Goo?';o)

Oh, I just adore this! What a lovely, light-hearted little fic! Tipsy Merry and Pippin and wise, caretaker Cousin Frodo, and the gentle affection at the end, just wonderful! I smiled all the way through it. :-)

This is incredibly lovely. The relationship among the cousins is so beautifully illustrated in so few perfect words that I am in awe. And the tree is exquisite. Absolutely delightful.

Very cute. I love the end, especially '"Dear old foolish lads," Frodo said, and this time he did laugh, a clear and lovely sound in the dark.' Beautiful and inspired writing!
