There are golden treasures hidden on your hard disk. What a treat!

I've just spent a very enjoyable day re-reading this story. It's made me laugh and made me cry in a few places. It's nice to see Chapter 37 at last - though I didn't know I was missing it until now. I'm glad Pippin addressed his regret and offered his apologies soon after he'd found out what happened to Ferdi. That seems quite fitting, more so than just having him do it while in delerium later. To know that he's done it once, and that it still bothers him later so much that he feels he must try again to apologize before he dies, puts quite a different spin on the emotions involved.



Author Reply: I love it when I unearth a treasure. I do "keep" nearly everything up on the web on several sites, as a sort of "backup", and also on two different computers (only one of which has a working word processor, but at least it'll store files that I email to myself) and an external drive and a CD.

Having lost significant hours (read "months") of work, I'm a little paranoid.

Thanks!

Liked this chapter.

Everard was certainly pleased. Nothing quite like annoying people when you're in a much better mood than they are.

Perhaps no one noticed the missing chapter because the chapter texts aren't numbered. Unless you keep going back to the chapter list, there's no way to keep track of which one you're on.

Author Reply: Yes, I noticed that when I went back to add in the "missing" chapter, but when I'll have time to correct that little oversight... who knows?

Thanks!

(Nothing quite like annoying people... you sound as if you speak from personal experience. Annoyer, or annoyee? Or both?! I used to be quite a smart aleck, which is why my hobbits are so often smarting off at one another, I think.)
