| Bill has certainly grown in wisdom, hasn't he? And now he's able to encourage and assist Shadowfax in his grief. Will they make it all the way to Bree before Shadowfax is needed by Gandalf? Will Shadowfax deliver him safely into Butterbur's hands? I hope so! | |

| Yes, he has grown as much as do four Hobbits of his acquaintance. | |

| Bronwe athan Harthad is good enough advice to the Lord of Horses. Be like that humble Hobbit who even now is moving closer and closer to his fate, one even he dreads--perhaps more than they can appreciate. The happy Hobbit who threw himself into Gandalf's arms, threw his friend into Rosie's arms during the dance, who was obviously admired by the girls as he showed off his own dance moves--is being scoured away, leaving only the discerning, responsible individual he is at his core, terrified but determined to keep his word. Love Bill's advice--Foot by foot by foot by foot.... | |

| I, too, recall that bit from The Hobbit, and laughed to see it echoed here. And the advice is also reminiscent of Gandalf admonishing Frodo that ours is to decide what we will do within the time that is given to us. Lovely to see Radagast and Gandalf are both honest Istari cast from the same mold. | |

| To be the author of comfort rather than the vessel receiving it is quite the turnabout, you must admit. Hooray! And I rejoice that the Eagle is chasing the louts back toward Rohan and possible justice rather than back to their plunder and the chance to go north to join the Big Men. | |

| Not the pony to attack at this point in time. He has had time to learn to defend himself and others, and will not be easy to subdue. Just try! And one of the eagles has come to aid them? Definitely does nothing to aid these yoyos! | |

| Definitely a time of confusion for both our equines. And these intended Big Men need to be dealt with at a time when Shadowfax is at the nadir of his spiritual strength. | |

| This chapter seems to embody the mission of life: the walk of life. On we must go, despite weariness, sorrow, toil and pain, despite hopelessness we must carry on. Foot by foot by foot by foot… No matter what comes. I love Bill’s patient and wise thoughts. He has indeed grown; he is no longer only a pony. (If indeed he ever was) How lovely! Thank you so much for the continued faithful updates!!! | |

| Perhaps hobbits embody a similar magic that I am only now beginning to be able to recognise? They may present a surface appearance that hides what lies beneath from the casual observer – and, perhaps, even from themselves. I love Bill's insight here. "He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can." Not just Frodo, eh? So ponies and more-than-ponies can achieve this state as well. :) | |

| Hooray! He finally got over that "only a pony" stuff once and for all. | |
