I'm sure I've reviewed this chapter before, but it always brings a smile to my face.

You want to make me cry, don't you?

But I forgive you... just barely!

Honestly, I suppose I should start listing all things about this that I enjoyed, but it would be a very long list.

Of course, Pippin's healing! He really waited long enough. Then I loved all the interaction of Hobbits with people from outside the Shire. Bergil, of course. And Sam getting the recognition that comes to him and the Shire people learning more about what happened.

What else can I say? Thanks a lot!

Came here on your rec and loved it. Second only to Sam h/c I love scenes in which he is honored and recognized for his deeds and selflessness. The entire story pulled me in and I felt as though I was among all of the folk as I read. You wrapped it all up quite satisfactorily. Very moving in many parts. Thank you!

Author Reply: Thank you for your review. I'm sorry that I am so late in answering. I don't remember seeing this before. Appreciate your taking time to leave a good word.

The King chuckled. 'Probably watched over them the whole night, as well, to make sure none of those scuffles and snuffles became real enough to menace them.'

Pippin's glance sharpened. 'Strider!' he said accusingly. 'You?'

The King laughed. 'It could have been,' he admitted. 'But I'm not the only Ranger who ran across hobbits astray in the wilds.' He smiled at Pippin. 'And for such a quiet, stay-at-home people as yours, I am astounded at how many young hobbits I found myself guarding, all unawares, over the years.'

Pippin shook his head in wonder. 'And we've never known...'

I love that passage every time I read this story (I think I'm on my fourth or fifth re-read of it).

Author Reply: Goodness, would you believe that this review never hit my email box? I just now saw it!

Sorry for the belated reply. What a nice surprise to run across, on my way to the pillow!

Thanks, lovely lady, for the story. When I have my computer fixed AGAIN I will start adding to mine. Can't get the A: drive on this one to be recognized. Am SO tired of computer problems.

Author Reply: Replying way late to this review. And yeah, computer problems are a royal pain. Thanks!

Yes, the world of Men also needs educating.

Author Reply: *hugs* Can't sleep and so am answering old reviews that don't seem to have replies. Hope this finds you well!

Yes, to be warned yet not stained is a balancing act.

At long last. It is about time that realization comes to the Shire.

Lovely blessings, and a Hobbit rendition of baptism.

Author Reply: My word, didn't I answer this? What's the matter with me?

(Thanks!)
