*gasp* (A poor imitation of my sharply indrawn breath as I reached the point where Frodo admitted cursing someone with/under the power of It.) This was heart-breaking. How shattering to read it was. Well done, my friend. Powerfully written. My heart breaks for Frodo, and my respect for Isumbard has grown even greater.

I found this especially intriguing:
Between them Ferdi and Pippin have made that plain to me.

If that scene has already been written, please point me to it! And if not... well... more grist for the Mill, as they say in Hobbiton.

Best to you, and thanks so much for the lovely birthday gift. I am encouraged to finish that stubborn mathom that was supposed to get posted last month but refused to give up the ending part quite yet.

I forgot to mention on the phone the other day that Panda is still with us. Her spirit burns as brightly as ever, mischievous, enthusiastic, joyful, even as her body is failing her. My heart is breaking into little pieces in slow motion. When Zoe died, I swore I'd never love another dog, and I held onto my resolve quite stubbornly for a long time after the new puppy arrived. But ultimately, I failed, and now I am undone.

Hi Larner,
Great to see this as a coherent whole.
None so blind as he who cannot see the consequences of his actions. Everyone suffers.
I am sorry but I have only just read the response to my review.
My email hasn't changed in all these years. harrowcatliz@netscape.net
Love to hear from you.
Hugs, Elizabeth
