My Sword Trembles - Book Three - 'My Sword' Series  by Agape4Gondor 2 Review(s)
TariReviewed Chapter: 37 on 9/19/2008
A clambake. Yummy. Why couldn’t they have had them by the sea?

Faramir seems to be recovering beautifully, although I’m sure he’ll have moments throughout his life when the sadness of his losses returns to haunt him.

You have depicted the relationship between Faramir and Prince Imrahil much as I would have thought it to be. I think the Prince would have been like a second father to him.

Author Reply: Hi, Tari! Thanks for the reply.

I too think that way about Imrahil... He and Denethor were closer in age and they, I hope, were friends... He must have felt a strong sense of duty towards Gondor to have taken on the 'Stewardship' when Denethor passed. At least for the short term... until Faramir was well again.

As for our dear Faramir - there will not be a time when he doesn't feel the loss of his father and his brother.... poor little lad. But he has many who love him and will help him keep the grief in perspective!

Bless you for your faithful responses!

Clambakes are undoubtedly held in most areas where clams are easily available! What is easier than digging a firepit in the earth, then filling the coals with shellfish to bake in the covered ashes? In Hawaii, where other foods are enjoyed, they do call it a luau, is all, and cook more than fish and shellfish, of course....

A wonderful way to welcome Faramir. And already Faramir's ability to read hearts is showing itself well.

As for the suspicions of Borondir--I sincerely hope he has full reason to trust his uncle. As long as a certain wizard hasn't come here!

Author Reply: I am afraid, dear Larner, that Borondir will carry suspicion in his heart from now on. It is not an easy thing to have 'lost' his own Steward... I'm afraid the wizard is not out of the picture yet.... *shivers*

As for Faramir - Imrahil is awesome - to give the lad such a joy-filled welcome - with no others about to 'worry' over him or fawn over him - he needs a bit of peace in a 'safe' setting.

When I did a search on the word clambake - all I got was info aboutthe New England ones - DUH! I obviously shouldn't have used that term for you are correct - clambakes by any other name are still clambakes! *giggles*

Bless you and thank you for your comments!
