Looks like Pippin got repaid for his prank. LOL I loved Esmeralda trying to match Frodo up with someone. Very funny chapter!

Author Reply: Thank you! A bit of lightness was needed in the mist of this mystery and angst. Pippin got doubly repaid - his mother hates it when he gets stains on his best clothes. Esmeralda just wants Frodo to be happy, and she seems to think that means he gets married, and the sooner the better!

Poor Frodo, my family keeps trying to get me 'settled' (translation: married). Its very stressful to have to deal with well-meaning family members making not-subtle-at-all inquiries. Pippin and Merry's reactions were perfect, as was Frodo's reminder their times are coming - and they are!

Author Reply: Yes, I know that feeling all too well myself. "So do you have a boyfriend yet?" Can't get any less subtle than that! They do mean well, but somehow that doesn't seem to help very much.

Merry and Pippin are going to have to watch out when they come of age LOL!
