| Good thing you posted the next chapter as well. That would have been a wicked cliffhanger! Fatty is a most remarkable hobbit. I have to keep reminding myself he's a fictional character, and then I'm always disappointed. The world needs more people like him. Am actually hoping the next chapter doesn't miraculously rescue Ulrich. That would begin to seem like Deus ex Machina at this point. Ulrich not being saved would be more realistic, showing that in real life, things don't always turn out the way you want. Excuse me, the deeper portions of my brain have informed me that if I don't get to that next chapter within the next two minutes, I will shrivel up and die of curiosity. Must be going. | |

| Thank God you didn't leave us "hanging". I'm gonna try to get the next chapter read before I have to leave. Connie. | |

| Oh I had another thought about Fredegar willing to give up his life to save Ulrich's and it is something Jesus said: Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends... And even though Ulrich refused it, I still can help but cry as it was a gesture of friendship as well as love... | |

| I am now reading these last few chapters, and you have me sobbing into my tea. Ulrich is brave, Freddy is brave, Nell is brave, and all march on to the inevitable conclusion. Your writing here is very powerful and emotional and so gripping! And, it's not predicable at all. All the theories that I had were absolutely wrong - and I was trying to guess what you were going to do. After the hint you gave in a previous chapter, I knew it was Freddy that had offered his life as a guarantee for Ulrich, but I never imagined he would go through with it and ask to be hanged. Freddy has earned over again the reputation for bravery and selflessness that inspired him to become part of the original conspiracy and to become a leader of the rebellion. He may not have quite the fame of the travellers, but he is a hero nonetheless. Frodo would have been proud of him. | |

| Just don't want to leave this chapter out. What a night - sitting through it knowing you are going to die at dawn. Like sitting at a deathbed, only you are the victim. What a cliff-hanger! | |
