How utterly unfair to leave off at such a critical moment.......

But, I'm anxious to see what becomes of it. And, my goodness, if I was Eomund, I would have to agree with Theodwyn's choice not to reveal anything. More because I'd be worried about how much I could be being made a fool of, but also because that kind of thing is, well, private.

Author Reply: Yes Eomer it is unfair to leave it at that point...and Theodwyn is being loyal to her husband, not to join in the gossip. More soon. Eokat.

Wow! What a cliffhanger! No pun intended, sorry. Reminds me of those cliffhanger stories they used to show at movie theaters and used again on early TV where I saw them (when I was a very little kid!). I'm anxious to find out which three boys fell off the high side of the wall and if they or any of the other boys are seriously hurt. And if one of them is Eomer....
I like your glimpses of Eowyn and Eomer in the kitchens and Eowyn not liking to sew. Typical little children and very sweet.
I'd like to see more of Theodred and his interactions with his cousins. That is the only thing I'm missing in this story. I'm so glad you are continuing the story of Eomer and Eowyn's childhoods. Orcs and Babes is still my favorite story about Eomer and this is just as enjoyable. Thanks for writing them!

Author Reply: Thank you Donna. I am glad you are enjoying this. Yes I am going to re-introduce Theodred into the next chapter, watch this space. Eokat.

I recognized the wifely scene. Women tell one another stuff that would make men choke. My best friend's husband once asked her how in the world someone else had come to tell her something and we both laughed because it was the kind of thing that women just tell.

Anyway, the boys appear to be in trouble. From their point of view, they were just having a good time, but from the adults' point of view, they wandered into danger when told not to. And then, of course, the wall appears about to collapse. Not good.

Author Reply: I agree Daw, women DO speak so, when we get the chance!!!

'Boys will be boys,' as they say, and yes,they have got themselves in a dangerous predicament. Eokat.
