| “a man of such qualities” Yes! — Film: “A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor to show his quality.” “Captain Faramir. You have shone your quality, sir…the very highest.” Book: “Now’s a chance to show your quality.” “So it seems….A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality! Ha!” […] “You took the chance, sir.…and showed your quality: the very highest.” Not to mention all the other times he gains their friendship. I see Éowyn learns somewhat of the Denethor/Faramir relationship…. Finally confirmation Éowyn does actually switch rooms! And Merry smokes in Éowyn’s presence now… Pretty good combining, but because you skipped the part of the conversation about Pippin and Merry getting the pipes out, it is a little glaring when their pipes just appear. “Or if she were honest she was afraid of marriage even before that because of what it did to her mother. Within a year of her father’s death she and Éomer had lost her as well. Her mother died of a broken heart. She left them. But what Faramir's eyes offered was beyond any of these experiences and when she attempted a tenuous wave she was rewarded with the brightest, warmest smile that began in small part to take down the wall she had constructed around her heart, seemingly whether she willed it or no.” Good point about the love. I hope that love happens here, but that the death of the one doesn’t cause the death of the other. But except for possible danger in wars, which I doubt will happen in Elessar’s reign, Faramir will probably outlive Éowyn because he is more Numenorean (and a tiny but Elvish:)) Faramir getting to her heart—awwww. | |

| Merry paused here, “I would not see her hurt anymore. If you can help her, I will be forever in your debt.” Faramir held the hobbit’s earnest eyes for moments longer, “She is in my heart, Master Hobbit, I can only hope she will let me into hers. I love that passage. What an important, peaceful, and healing time this is for all three of them, trusting in friendship bonds and glimmers of hope. Author Reply: Shirebound! Exactly! This is a time to start the healing process and it may be slow going at first. But everyone will get there! Yay! Thanks for writing! (((hugs))) MM | |
