A Merry Life  by Anso the Hobbit 3 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 6 on 6/19/2005
I love that it's Pippin and Sam alone who might rise before dawn. Very fitting for Sam, I must say.

And now Pippin and Gimli are getting Merry up for the next stage in the quest.

Author Reply: Yes. I do figure both Sam and Pip as early risers. Pippin is so full of energy and Sam has to work so it suits them I think

Poor Merry! All he wants is to snuggle up and sleep,LOL! This is another delightful little insight! I love the way he resists as long as possible!

Author Reply: Thanks! I somehow have a "thing" for sleeping hobbits, lol.

You loved to sleep, to feel the softness and warmth of the pillows and blankets and bed around you. Since you had grown out of that overly energetic part of childhood, you felt the bed was a place of freedom, where you could think and dream. Your energy still came by the bucketful, and once you were awake and up, it was no less abundant than before, it just didnīt start quite as early in the morning as it once did.

What a wonderful description! I know we can all relate to that. And ohhh, a perfect ending. I love the image of Gimli "counting hobbits", and making sure everyone is accounted for.

Author Reply: Thanks! somehow I love writing sleeping Merry, lol.
