Larner, I am positively green with envy...you make it look so easy! A lovely story, and Sam is my absolute favorite of the hobbits...

Author Reply: Make it look so easy? I'm flattered indeed. Thank you, so, BC. As for me, I love them all (okay, perhaps Frodo and Aragorn more than all the rest).

Thanks again.

the water spilling and singing in it as it filled and the overflow rained down in gladness on the pool below where silver and golden fishes swam.

the coming of a ship they had great hope would bring to them the golden treasure they’d left behind


How beautiful, Larner. This is more poem than story.

Author Reply: I'm so glad you found those two lines particularly moving, Shirebound; and I was trying for a "misty" feel to this one--perhaps similar to how I think a mortal within Lothlorien might feel at the time.

It never even occurred to me to wonder what happened to Galadriel's basin. This is so fitting. And I like the way the grotto was created by hobbit, dwarf, and elf, each contributing. I hope whatever Sam glimpsed gave him peace.

Author Reply: I just found that basin and ewer nudging at me yesterday after I finished writing chapter eight of my other story. And it was nice to think there would be some inter-racial cooperation on this one.

As for what Sam saw or didn't see or thought he saw or knew he saw--he's not telling, and neither am I. Heh!

Thanks.

This is wondrous, mystical and magical. A work of art, Larner!

"The water ran slightly more freely now, as if now that it had a pool to disport itself in it felt free to explore and play."

Beautiful!

Author Reply: Oh, am glad I was able to communicate that feeling properly. Thanks indeed, Pearl.
