Love the introduction between the two. Hilarious.

Great beginning! Seems Pip is up to his old tricks in this one. I loved the guessing what the new nurse would be like and how very wrong they both were. He certainly has made her angry, hasn't he? LOL

I do have to ask this, does this one start after "Roses" and continue on with that line or is this a separate story and not related to "Roses"? Just wondering if Pip is still in mourning over his wife and child or if that story has no relationship to this one.

Author Reply: Very good question...I meant to put that in my Prologue, so I guess I'll be revisiting that bit. But as you know, the entire story of Roses was A/U, having nothing really to do with my "real" Pippin universe. So I guess the basic answer would be that this story is separate.

I figured it would be just like a couple lads to assume the spinster would be the one to mind the children. Fixed them, didn't I? Now I have to go fix a boo-boo I missed. :-P Thanks for stopping by; hope to update again before the weekend is out. Take care. :-)

Yay! You've started posting it. I've been waiting since Roses to read this. You're off to a great start. Pippin had better be careful who he tries to fool into thinking he's anything other than the Thain's son. He could have dug himself a whole with Sapphira that he couldn't climb out of. Hope they can work this little snag out quickly.

I did find one little redundancy. When you were writinging about Pippin trying to thwart Everard's attempt to pinch his cheeks, you used both the pronoun "his" and his proper name to refer to Everard. You might want to check it out and see which one sounds better to you.

I'm just sooo excited you're posting again. I'm doing a little hobbity happy-dance.

Author Reply: Without even going back to look first, I know exactly what error you're talking about. I was giving the chapter one last comb-over before publishing it and by the time I got to the end my screen name timed out. *None* of the corrections I made took; I had to go back and do it all over again, trying to remember what I did the first time and that redundancy was one of them--so apparently I missed it the second time round. I feel that once I've logged on, there should be no timing out unless I purposely log out on my own. Grrr.

Anyhoo...thank you for visiting! I'm happy to see you've found poor Pippin's latest adventure and I look forward to hearing more of what you think. Take care and talk to you on Sunday--I won't forget this time!

You *do* have to go at everything sideways, don't you? *grin* I'll be fascinated to see how this one turns out, and will eagerly await the eventual appearance of Miss Diamond!

Author Reply: LOL...I know--and I can't help it! I feel like a trout swimming up stream. Thanks for reading. :-)
