Lindelea, I have not abandoned you! None of the reviews I have written in the last couple of days have ever shown up on ff.n, so I give up on it. I'm just glad that there's another place I can read your stories! If you actually did get the reviews, then I'm glad (but I bet you didn't).

In the last chapter, I thought Ferdi might be saying "I told you so" under his breath on the way to the mines, and here I see Pippin is not so thick after all - he seems to have heard it despite being distracted by both worry over his son, and what looks like a really nasty allergic reaction to mold. I've always thought his breathing problems were a result of scarring from pneumonia and injury, aggravated every time the chronic bronchitis flared up: here I was worried he was going to go into anaphylactic shock and die right there (I knew you wouldn't actually kill him, but Woodruff doesn't have epinepherine available either).

Faramir is quite a little snot here - to his father, and to the rescuers. I think Pip might have been inclined to be a little indulgent with him, remembering all the times he himself slipped the escort, and all the scrapes he got into with his own cousins; however, Farry's attitude is certainly enough to bring him up short. I think there'll be some consequences for the smart mouth if not for the expedition, and a change in company coming up.

I'm going to continue to send my reviews here from storiesofarda. I hope you're getting them!

Author Reply: Yes! I'm getting reviews from SoA, thanks! Do you want me to reply here, or continue to reply at ffnet?
