Wow! I had never heard of the artist you mention at the end, and went straight to Google. You're so tight -- amazing, beautiful work!

I've been meaning to say that I really like Vanyalos a lot. His character is just so welcoming. :-)

Thanks as always for writing!

So great to wake up on a Sunday to see this story continue, MJ. Now enough of all the descriptions and let's get on with the court. LOL! I really shouldn't complain since most of my trial/court scenes generally take 3 or 4 chapters to describe. Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter with bated breath. And all kidding aside, your description of the court was quite vivid and easily 'seen'. A rare gift.

Author Reply: Thank you so much (she says, and would be blushing if her blusher hadn't broken years ago, lol -- and thank YOU for not spelling "bated" as "baited," it's a pet peeve of mine ;D). You are about to get your wish then, since I'm just finishing up the next chapter and should have it posted later today. I hope it's up to your expectations!

What beautiful pictures you paint with your words. And I am so pleased that you mentioned Sulamith Wülfing - I used to have a much loved poster by her, a long time ago, but had forgotten her work entirely until you reminded me.

Author Reply: I'm glad to have provided a reminder, then, since her work is lovely and well worth remembering. Thanks for reading and leaving a review.

There is no question that Rackham's illustrations are well worth deep examination! I have probably seen some by the illustrator you named, but I couldn't say exactly when or in which books.

All sounds most fair, and I so love the description of Manwe's own appearance! So gorgeous! And the robes prepared for Frodo and Bilbo sound perfect for them!

Author Reply: I first saw Wulfing's illustrations on postcards and as an overall print on a t-shirt back when I was in college in the early '70s, so I imagine they have popped up in many places since. They are quite lovely, and were a wonderful inspiration for this part of the story. Thanks ever so much for taking a moment to review!
