| Legolas is doing a pretty good job in convincing everybody that his way is best! I just hope he's right. 'What's her name again? I hope Mardil remembers it before they exchange vows. I'm sure Deniel remembers his. Author Reply: It was Lord Peter Wimsey who declaimed, in Dorothy L. Sayers' masterful book "Busman's Honeymoon", "In the course of a misspent life I have learned that it is a gentleman's first duty to remember in the morning who it was he took to bed with him." And remember that Elwen, Deniel's younger sister, said that Deniel is "perfect" ... I am pretty sure she knows exactly who Mardil is, and what is his name! | |

| Are there any more frightening words than "Trust me". This is a really great story, Le Rouret. Thank you. Legolas as matchmaker, why does that thought still keep me up at night. LOL Author Reply: The phrase, "Trust me," seems to me to embody all those things I detest in a person - arrogance that one is right, married to the demand one believe it in the face of the evidence. But like I said: Legolas is an Elf ... what could possibly go wrong? | |

| He he, Legolas was a naughty elf! His match-making has turned Mardil into a quivering wreck and his innuendo while serving pheasant had me laughing out loud! No wonder that even Bandy was turning a little scarlet :D I love your Legolas, he is effervescent and his heart is great.His appetite for life is wonderful and how could you not love a friend who promises to be the 'mid-wife' at the birth of your first child?! I love this story, Rouret.Update soon. Author Reply: I would have updated sooner, but a friend's domestic, er, infelicity prompted the necessity of my watching her two-year-old last week, which impeded my Muse somewhat. Brace yourself; here he comes again! | |

| You cannot be serious, Le Rouret (*grin*)! No, seriously, I'm always intrigued with the way you weave your tales. I read this right before dinner and it made my stomach growl...your description of any food, even in passing, is mouth-watering. I also love that you portray Legolas actually having a healthy appetite rather than alluding (as it seems so many other authors do) that he only seldom eats! Author Reply: I had always wondered why folk thought the Elves did not care much for good food. For myself, thinking of the Sylvan and Sindarin Elves in particular, I had postulated a love of those things aesthetic would be given, especially when reading about Galion and the Dorwinion wine in the Elven King's dungeons. And being blessed with extra-good senses, wouldn't their taste buds be subject to the same extremes? | |
