Between Green Door and Gold Ring  by Larner 6 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 8 on 4/27/2016
Oh, my!

I'm so glad I've been looking at reviews this morning (as opposed to, say, actually writing something, even though Bill and his party are so close to Hollin... sigh), or I'd have missed this one!

Delightful, and so believable!

(And left me chuckling, a good thing this morning, after awakening to no Internet, and needing a third cup of coffee to achieve rationality this morning, and behind in my RL work. And just had JWs at the door despite the "No Soliciting" sign, so you can imagine how indignant the puppy is and how much noise pollution is resulting...)

Okay, I either need to get to work, or steal a little more time to talk with Bill...

Author Reply: I note you stole time with Bill, and I rejoice--now to steal some time of my own and read your efforts! My pups are outside at the moment, scratching at the door to come back in. Calli-cat was spayed the other day, and I need to mow the lawn, get some things planted, cut back on the blackberries threatening to choke out the noble fir, and mow the lawn. It's going to be a busy day, apparently, as the washer is again out and I need again to go to the laundromat to get the laundry done. At least I can use my own dryer.

I'm glad you enjoyed this one. For this Thain's Lady to meet the pretentious lady to the Sackville clan must have been the start of a mutual detestation contest in which the two women involved did their best to undermine one another!

At last! Something clear I can unsdertand. Thanks!

Author Reply: I am sorry if some of my writing seems complicated. But I enjoyed bringing together two of the Shire's most notorious harridans and letting them start on one another!

Thanks!

Go, Lalia!
I'm so glad you decided to give her a chance to shine! Being "civil" indeed - I bet you could drive Lobelia mad with *that*!

Author Reply: Oh, I suspect the two of them will drive one another mad as time goes on, although I think Lalia will retain the upper hand for some time. Heh! Thanks, Soledad.

*grin* Equals among themselves, huh? Really enjoyed the thinkly veiled bragging and insulting! Must have been a lot of fun to watch these two and to listen while they pretended to be civil to each other.

Author Reply: Oh, but it was great fun to fulfill the request to picture the first meeting between Lalia and Lobelia--two dragonladies indeed! Heh!

Just delicious!

Author Reply: I'm so glad you think so, Linda! What better than two ambitious, two-faced ladies being their worst at one another's expense? Heh!

Neither of those two are really very nice people, are they? An excellent picture of two nasty bitches pretending to be pleasant ladies, using etiquette as a weapon in their warfare.

Author Reply: It was my pleasure to write this, Sunny. Thank you so! And who better to be two-faced something elses, each pretending to such civility, than Lalia and Lobelia together! I'm so glad that Celerits suggested the topic, and that it fit the B2MEM prompt so well!
