Jewels  by Lindelea 1 Review(s)
PSWReviewed Chapter: 43 on 4/3/2025
I love Sam standing on the table and singing! He's the only one we haven't seen do it, right? (Frodo in the book, Merry and Pippin in the movie ...) And what a lovely gift. (And Rosie back there winking at Merry. :-D)

So glad they had a lovely day for the wedding. So glad Merry has such an understanding bride, and that Pippin's father decided to stand with him for the day. What a joyous time. ❤

Author Reply: Every dog has his day, or so they say! (That's actually a compliment; several dogs are high on my list of favorite people.) I do love Sam, so steady and solid and wise. Rosie winking at Merry is something of an inside joke, the way he tormented her to try to get Sam to propose! Some of the rewrite of Jewels was to incorporate that sub-plot from A Small and Passing Thing, which got written some time after Jewels and so this story was missing that piece. I hope I'm making sense. I've rather overdosed on chocolate today.

Definitely a joyous time! Thanks so much for reading and pausing long enough to share your thoughts!
