Apparently the marriage was nowhere as successful for Pervinca as it has been (FINALLY) for Diamond and Pippin. I pity the lass.

Author Reply: No, Pervinca’s marriage didn’t quite work out the same as Pippin’s. To paraphrase Merry’s quote from an earlier chapter: all marriages are different...even when the circumstances might seem similar.

Diamond and her mother had a nice talk,and seem to understand one better. Pippin is worried about the babe coming... Merry is his usualy self... Pippin's father isn't well and his mother is worried yet hasn't told pippin so not to worry him yet. Pervinci with four children,yet she and Pippin was the one who fought as children,they have all grown up...Please continue...

Author Reply: Well, at least Diamond understands her mother better. I’m not so sure about the other way around. Yes, Pippin is worried about Diamond and the babe coming -- a bit obsessively, actually, LOL, although not so very different from other expectant fathers I have known. Merry is his usual self -- just like he was his usual self earlier in the story in trying to protect Pippin from Diamond, and we saw how well that worked out...

Pippin already knows his father isn’t well; it’s just that his mother hasn’t shared *how* worried she is about him. Pervinca with her four children and Pippin expecting his first: they have indeed all grown up. The story continues....

Oh, poor Gerin. Yes, poor Gerin. How awful to be wed to a wife who experiences only pain at intercourse. Yes, it's Honeysuckle who experiences the actual pain, but lets not forget Gerin's dillemma here :-)

Author Reply: Sympathy for the forgotten victim. Your heart knows no bounds. : - )
