Shire: Beginnings  by Lindelea 1 Review(s)
VefinielReviewed Chapter: 9 on 1/28/2004
Well, this story seems promising so far. I do have one question though. Do you know how similar Holly's saying "Hail Brother! We who are but children salute thee." sounds to the gladiator's "Hail Caesar! We who are about the die salute thee." ? Is this intentional on your part, or a coincidence?

Author Reply: Sorry for the delay in replying. I thought I had answered this already but apparently haven't.

Yes, it was intentional. It just seemed the right thing to say at the time... though of course Holly wouldn't know about gladiators or such things.

I bet "eat drink and be merry" would be a common saying among hobbits, don't you?

Thanks for the comments!
