I love the way you work Merry into this. The nuances you work into this story are what make it such a lovely read.

Author Reply: Thanks. More Merry coming up - in fact, I'm writing him just now.;-)

I love the way you've worked canon into this; the hints of a deeper connection between the Hobbits and the Rohirrim, and the mention of the Ring war have grounded this well. The more mundane aspects of life and the bit about the laundry make this seem more real. :D

Author Reply: Thank you so, Wendy! It was Dreamflower who pointed out to me that the Rohan/Hobbits connection might be an interesting topic to pick up. There'll be more about that, but much later in the story.

You can tell that I'm innundated with laundry, eh?

What a lovely chapter! I did so like the humor - and the two women with their wash. I'm going to be traveling soon myself and, am also leaving the packing and such to the listen minute. I must be mad.

I am very concerned about the paints... I do so hope disaster does not hit our Deoric... One can always make excuses to make a decision appear right....

Yikes!

Author Reply: Thanks. The rained on laundry was written straight from real life... ;-)

Oh, I love this chapter! Deoric becomes rebellious; Leodric a semi-conspirator; Gleowine mysterious; Merry perhaps helpful....

Love what we see of the characters in this one!

Author Reply: Thank you, Larner. I'm glad this doesn't read like a philosophical treatise, which was a bit of a danger given my current interests in philosophy...
