| He keeps saying he's "only a pony," and usually after he's come up with a unique perspective or something very insightful. Author Reply: This observation makes me smile. Thanks for sharing your insight! | |

| Yeah, I do wonder about Aragorn as well... What did the pony smell? Was it the swamp? Or a hint of Saruman's influence, of orcs or wargs? Author Reply: Looking back at the chapter, I think Bill was smelling a swamp or bog, and it reminded him of the Midgewater Marshes. And, yeah, one might wonder about Aragorn and his familiarity with travel in this area, considering how much backtracking they seemed to have done – and not all that far from Rivendell! "The paths were little known to anyone except to the people of Rivendell" the text says. And Aragorn lived a fair number of years in Rivendell, so did he never explore these paths? Inquiring minds would like to know. One part of JRRT's admittedly brief (two paragraphs!) description of the first fortnight of walking includes this sentence: Paths were few and winding, and led them often only to the edge of some sheer fall, or down into treacherous swamps. | |

| I doubt that anyone thought of Bill as being the 10th member of the fellowship, but now that I think about it, he was. Author Reply: Definitely! :) | |

| Oh, poor Bill! I hope Pippin doesn't become ill, what with all the worrying his cousins are doing! Author Reply: Ah, DF wins the ARA for this chapter... (will explain later) Thanks! | |

| Yay, a new chapter! Glad to hear you're planning to make it to Moria with this fic; if the 110 chapters or whatever the limit is, do not suffice, I do hope you decide to write a part 2 or something. Because the reactions of Bill to his escape, the rangers' muster (?), the Fellowship's return (and Shadowfax!), and then Ferny... it would be too bad not to be able to read them. :) Author Reply: I know, so much scope for the imagination... and I do believe Bill was also mentioned on the ride to the Grey Havens, so he certainly was witness to some significant slices of the tale. Planning to take him all the way to the end, even if it does take a Part 2 to fit all the chapters in. Glad to have you along for the ride! And thanks for the smile this morning. | |

| Aha, well done! I worked in the bogs rather differently, you will find. Heh! Author Reply: I can't wait to get to Moria, where I'm certain our tales divide... then I can read yours without blurring my mental vision. Definitely looking forward to the treat! | |
