| Yum! Yum! Yummy! COOKIES!!! :) It's amazing how you can slave all day over a hot stove (not really but it sounds more dramatic that way) and work your fingers to the bone making several dozen cookies, and then, within one sitting, every darn last one of them is gone. Completely gone. Crumbs picked up and eaten, the bowl and mixers licked clean and not a cookie to be found. It's one of the great mysteries of life that will never be answered. "Where have all the cookies gone?" :) Another great chapter and I hope Pippin wakes up a little more in the next chapter. ;) Author Reply: Sounds like you just want some cookies, Chigger. LOL As to Pippin coming to a bit more, well, you know how I stretch these things out, so we may be in for a long haul. Hang in there, have some cookies, and come back later. On another note, thanks for my word of the day. I shall remember this one lest I make the same mistake again. | |

| I was wondering how you would handle Pippin and the absence of his parents. You did a great job with it! =D I feel awful for the poor lad. *whacks Paladin* I am going to whack that fool of a Took until he gets his act together, lol. Pippin seems to be trusting whatever Sam says. I like that. It's very interesting. Great job, mellon nin, as usual. Author Reply: Glad you liked this bit about Pippin's parents. I just seem to keep making them totally worthless! I have to work on that in the future, but for now in this fiction at least, I think I'm stuck with it. I think if you didn't know any of them, Sam would be the first one that you would trust. He just has an honest face and manner about him. Also, I never feel he gets enough credit for his common sense. | |

| Lovely chapter, very visual. I could just see what was happening! I love it when that happens. One tiny suggestion? "Cookies" is a very American word, at least that's what I'm told. These are called "sweet biscuits" or just "biscuits" in England. I'm not sure what they call biscuits! Author Reply: Thank you! So much of the time, I feel that I am too heavy on the dialogue. Glad this one came off well. You may want to read the new and improved "Cookies" as it is now, thanks to your help, "Biscuits"! I really appreciate the assistance on this one. Just hope I got all of the cookies out and the biscuits in. | |

| Merry, Merry, Merry. Why, oh, why couldn't you have taught him something more along the lines of a little kids' song? You know, like Little Boe Peep? :) Still, perhaps that wouldn't have cleared the room half so well. ;) Another great chapter! And keep up the hard work! Author Reply: Now, you know Merry! Always up to something interesting. In a way that was my nod to what I have always seen as Bilbo's unconventional style. Most adults would have been outraged by Pippin's little song, but Bilbo found a way to make the entire thing work for him. Mad Baggins strikes again! Keep reading, Chigger. Maybe Merry will surprise us and straighten up at some point. Oh on another note. I can't wait for the story with Belecthor and his girl. Glad something I said is bringing on another story with these lovely characters in it. It really does pay to review the stories that you enjoy. | |

| Nice. I like it that you let Frodo be strong rather than making him limp as too many fanficers do. It is angsty without being melodramatic, and I do hope you continue Author Reply: Thank you! I think of Frodo as being very strong-willed and able to work through things a bit better than others might just based on what he goes through in Lord Of The Rings. As they point out in the book, he endures more than most could and accomplishes what no one else can. I am glad someone agrees with me. | |

| Good, good. This is good. I hope things look up even higher in the next chapter. But then, if this story is going to be as long as The Road Less Travelled, we still have a way to go, don't we. :) Author Reply: LOL I hope it doesn't go that long! I just couldn't get that one to stop. Let's hope I can find a quicker ending to this one or we shall all die of boredom. | |

| Progress! Even if just a little. I hope he calms down soon, or poor Frodo won't be up to the big ordeal ahead of him in a few years. We don't want that! Author Reply: I am afraid that I have given a great deal of the work on this one to poor Frodo, but for some reason, I see a great many fictions where Frodo is the weak one. I always see him has having such a great inner strength because he has to go through so very much in his life. | |

| Terrible! Pippin lost his memories? Sorry, just got to continue this time. Expect more from me. :) Author Reply: Will be looking forward to it! Let me know what you think. | |

| PROGRESS!! WAHOO!!! Good thinking Sam, and LMAO at Merry and Sam asking Frodo what he's doing. "I'm reading this book, what do you think I'm doing?" ROFL. *slaps Paladin* How can you care so little for your OWN SON! Fool of a Took. Wonderful chappie mellon nin. =D Author Reply: Many thanks for the words of encouragement. Glad you got a laugh out of Frodo's read-aloud session. Thought it was time for a bit of humor. | |
