So, this is a gift handed down through the Tooks? An excellent one to have in such circumstances. Now what could have felled the horse's rider? Am glad all are ready for any danger ahead on the road.

A good sign, this new willingness to learn more of and from Hobbits, such as Ferdi and the lads.

Some deep thoughts here from Ferdi, who's far older than he was when he brought Estella from hiding in the Woody End to the Tooklands. A good reason to find him thoughtful. Holdoron is definitely learning from Farry's uncle.

And now they are truly following in Frodo's experiences, feeling the horrors....

Love the atmosphere of this chapter.

Humor is relative, after all. And Faramir Took is proving his heritage from his father. As I remember it, this "short cut" was anything but quicker than going by the road.

A shocking thing, to be so high above rushing water, and especially for Ferdi. At least Pip-lad hasn't his father's more common Harfort fears. As I remember, Pippin was the quickest and surest crossing the rope bridge in Lorien, so I can understand how Farry would wish to be lifted up to see.

A difficult concept to appreciate. One that obviously struck a deep chord in Haldoran's memory.

No, this is not the same journey at all, is it? But then, each journey is its own adventure, with its own joys and dangers. Farry is having to grow up on this one, much like his father did on the Quest.

A painful lesson for more than just Pippin-lad. Faramir is learning useful lessons in what leadership should mean.

Excellent chapter!

Well, of course it looks different to Frodo's descriptions. After all, midsummer is far different than mid-October as far as growth and foliage are concerned.

I'm glad that Haldoran is mindful of Ferdi's possible feelings, although most likely Ferdi would take no offense.

I just hope that there are no trolls hiding in the Troll-shaws.
