PS I do have to say that even though Pippin played a dirty trick on Ferdi, it was still very kind of him, given the end result. Much like the old Pippin before he became Thain. Both the playfulness and the kindness.

(This was also a test to see if this website would allow 2 reviews for one chapter. ff.net won't let you do that. Apparently this one does. I like that in case I forget something, as in this instance.)

I've been reading some of your old stories and I thought it was too late to comment on them, but then I saw that you actually responded to some reviews for this one from just last year, even though it was written and "published" long ago. Do you get emails when someone comments on a story (even an old one) or do you have to go in and check?

Anyway, I love happy endings and this one was well earned. Poor Ferdi -- but he finally got the reward he deserved in the end.

Can't blame Fatty for grilling Ferdi about his feelings for his Aunt Nell -- almost acting like she's Fatty's sister.

And that was a dirty trick Pippin played on Ferdi LOL Technically, it wasn't a lie, but "unmarried" does imply "never married," not "widowed."

I'm glad you're still writing. Some of my favorite authors have stopped or even died.

“ If she couldn't stuff her husband with food, she'd settle on the next available hobbit.” I’m sure that’s true, but I’m also sure there’s more to it than that ….

Poor Pippin, he just can’t get past his poor health - and poor Ferdi can get past his poor history. What a pair they make!

Author Reply: I just discovered this wonderful raft of reviews! (You likely told me you'd read this story, and I quite possibly forgot.) I look forward to reading through your impressions of the story!

Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I very much appreciate it..

No - no, it isn’t so bad indeed…

Oh! Ferdinand slipped out between one breath and the next, just like that. So glad Ferdi was there with him, and that he has nothing to regret in regard to his are for his father …

It’s so good to know that all the Tooks recognized the unfairness and were happy to have him back!

Again - very interesting seeing all this from the other side…

Knowing the other side of this story makes it hard to be upset with Pippin, of course. When someone is so unhappy, it’s difficult to think of others. And yet … he has their lives in his hands.

I feel like not telling Pippin he’s been engaged his whole life is just a poor choice…

Author Reply: Definitely a poor choice. I honestly wonder when they planned to tell him? Interesting to contemplate.
