Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 9: Motives

So, Lergie is likely to have had dealings with Saruman's folks there in Bree, and wants Bag End, does he? I hope he'll be quickly dealt with.

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 8: The Party

Wonderful AU moment. Wish it had happened that way!

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 7: Rumors

Oh, that's it, is it? Yes, questions about Frodo's honor make me ANGRY! Argh!

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 6: Yule

It's a bit odd seeing Esme being the hostess at the Great Smial, as Eglantine is the Thain's wife. But now I'm wondering what rumors are going around about Frodo? Sounds serious.

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 5: Bag End

Animals can aid in settling troubled hearts.

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 4: The Message

Explaining it all to Hobbits who've never dealt with the outer world beyond possible trips to Bree would be MOST difficult.

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 3: Deputy Mayor

It is a difficult thing to appreciate, I think.

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 2: The Lockholes

Poor Daisy and May, not having much of a chance ever with the object of their desires. But at least they've found Fredegar and Lobelia and Will Whitfoot.

Larner · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 1: The Scouring of the Shire

Glad others are also exploring this time. And explaining to the Gaffer would indeed be difficult.

Frodo Baggins · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 26: Engagement

You're back! Welcome home, my friend!! *hugs you* I've missed you, Ellie! I haven't got time to read this right now, but I will. I promise. Right now, I'm off to bed, or Sam Gamgee will have my head. :) Namarie! And welcome back! Im mil le, God BLess, Frodo Baggins

Arwen of Lorien · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 26: Engagement

Sure, everyone wants Arwen at the wedding! (Elves give great gifts!)*Heh* Great chapter El! Glad your back to writing, though congrats on taking the break to spend more time in devotions! Luv and God bless *~*~Arwen of Lorien~*~*

Antane · 21 August 2006 · Chapter 26: Engagement

Welcome back, Elanor! I have missed you! Thanks for another chapter of hobbity love. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane

Queen Galadriel · 16 August 2006 · Chapter 25: Home

Safe in his guardian's arms, yet still afraid. Yes, in his place I'd be disturbed, and if I were in Sam's place I'd worry. But he is held in stronger arms than Sam's, arms that will never fail. LOL! Loved seeing those two blindfolding one another! LOL! I've been blind from birth and consequently never bothered about it, and recently had the delightful opportunity to blindfold my mother and lead her around. I made her walk mostly by herself, or tried too, though by the end she was clinging to me. She was perfectly terrified! LOL! Honestly I felt kinda bad, though, because she was so scared when there was absolutely nothing to be afraid of; I was right there in front of her and wouldn't have let her stumble or fall. Oh! What a wonderful idea, to make Bag End Sam's birthday present for Frodo! I'd never have thought of that! Poor little Wanderer. And is there a wedding just around the corner, hmmm? :) I can't wait! God bless, Galadriel

harrowcat · 23 July 2006

Happy holidays (holy-days) Elanor.

Antane · 14 July 2006 · Chapter 25: Home

Yes, a very nice present indeed! Home at last! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Antane · 14 July 2006 · Chapter 24: A Not-So Expected Party

I already reviewed this, didn't I?, but I must have missed a lot because it was like reading again for the first time. It was only at the end that I realized that I had read it before. I love the idea that somehow Frodo was aware of Sam's birth and it gave him joy amidst the grief of losing his parents. I firmly believe it was no coincedence that Sam was born that year. Iluvatar takes care of His own. Very sweet chapter. Glad he enjoyed himself! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Antane · 18 June 2006 · Chapter 24: A Not-So Expected Party

Good he had some cheer - love leading a blindfolded Sam to the party and the kiss on the forehead at the end. I do wonder what the gift is. And what Sam wished for, but of course, you can't say... Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Antane · 18 June 2006 · Chapter 23: Despair

Oh, I love this whole chapter! So much love. Sam not even taking off his cloak before he checks on his dear, holding him so long, I love you, wiping tears, Frodo admitting his heart and soul still longs for the hated thing... Well, I could go on but then I'd quote the whole chapter. Too bad human love, even as deep as Sam's and you can't get deeper than that, was not enough to heal such terrible hurts. But there is grace ahead. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Arwen of Lorien · 16 June 2006 · Chapter 24: A Not-So Expected Party

Ahh! Present! What?!? *Heh!*?*Heh!* ;) Ah dear! These chapters are perfect! Lovely lovely. Sad but true! Such sweetness...And a perfect chapter to wait on for more! Thanks Mellon-nin! *Heh* Fro and Marigold, how cute! And your Rosie is such a dear! But of coarse, Sam and Frodo are *'de bestist!* <3 Its an honor to be friends with such a good auther! Thanks 4 editing my story! luv and God bless! Navaer ~Arwen

Arwen of Lorien · 16 June 2006 · Chapter 21: Iluvitar

YEEAAHH! I am finally getting back to the story! Yes, this sounded good after our looong (and awesome)trip @ the Capital. Yeah! A letter from me!! Yes, sounds like somthing I would send him during his harder time. *wipes tear* Alright, know I must finish and get to the one dedicated to me!! *Happynes*... *Goes of to read rest* God bless! Navaer!~Arwen

Antane · 9 June 2006 · Chapter 22: The Thirteenth

I'm glad Frodo knew the comfort of One who loves him even more than Sam does. The poor dear, hating the Ring so much and still longing for it at the same time... I hate that he had to leave but sometimes only Divine Love can heal when human love cannot no matter how much it wants to and tries to. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Antane · 9 June 2006 · Chapter 21: Iluvitar

Prayers and love are the most powerful things on earth - Frodo certainly had plenty of both. Thanks for this. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane

Queen Galadriel · 9 June 2006 · Chapter 22: The Thirteenth

Oh, Ellie, this made me cry, both of these chapters. Oh, poor dear! *hugs Frodo* He tries, but it's so hard...and it's heartbreaking. I lovelovelovelove this story! And I love the inclusion of the book! How perfect! (You might want to check the chapter numbers, though. This chapter is shown as twenty-seven instead of twenty-two.) Can't wait to read your Findulas story too, but it's almost three o'clock in the morning here, so better get to bed. God bless, Galadriel

Antane · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 19: The Night Before

What love, what love, what love! The holding of Frodo's hand, the massaging - trying to help the physical pain, and the assurance that he didn't fail - trying to help all the emotional agony. I just love your Sam to death, because he's such a dear help and loving presence! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Antane · 29 May 2006 · Chapter 20: The Wedding

Frodo needs a hug? Glad to oblige! ) He's going to get so many from so many, he won't know what to do! *hug* *hug* and *more hug* I'm glad he and Sam were able to comfort each other though after their fearful nights. What love! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
