| oh dear haha! I think Boromir will have grown up much by then, and have other things to worry about, like Sauron and Rohan and Aragorn. Plus if he did survive, his old tutor might be dead from war or natural causes. This reminded me of that story I was going to write where various ME people were in school… | |

| A delightful sketch of little lord Boromir stuck in the schoolroom! He's better at practical things and battlefield tactics than memorizing dates. Question - "Boromir crossly pushed away the book he had been set to con" - I don't understand the last three words - is it a typo, is my computer leaving off letters, or am I dense? Author Reply: Thanks for the feedback! I'm a primary teacher myself and, you know, there are a lots of kids who just aren't the sit down and learn type but who, like Boromir, have great determination and drive. set to con No, you aren't dense - I'm being obscure. I often use old, though not necessarily of any particular age, words to try and give my stuff a flavour of not being *now*. Con means to study or learn so Boromir has been told to learn a cerain number of pages or something like that of the book. | |
