| *lol* That letter was priceless! That's a bit extreme, even for Pippin! And the 'help' he put into the gifts left me giggling. Poor Beri and Merry! But I can see where the problem lies. Yay for Frodo – though so much younger than the other adults, he was the only one to understand and to have a solution. Who knows how things would have gone for Pippin if not for Frodo! Author Reply: I know some of the letter my students have written have left me giggling and scratching my head at the same time. It was rather fun trying to imagine how Pippin's letter might have gone. And Frodo does understand, and has figured out what to do to get poor Pippin back on track. So glad you enjoyed this one, Kitty! | |

| Great idea to have Frodo and Sam discover that this snowball incident was real – for both of them! This way of communicating through the trees was such a lovely idea; I always enjoy it when the friends can sense each other this way. This time I was so glad for Aragorn and Arwen that they could sense Elrond and Celebrían, and particularly that Arwen now knows for sure that her mother is healed and happy again. Lovely, Larner! Author Reply: I would think that at this time in her life, reminded of her husband's mortality by the realization his contemporaries are dying around him or are drifting away, I'd think she'd appreciate knowing her mother, at least, is alive and thriving alongside Elrond and others she's loved. Thank you so very much, Kitty! It means so much to me! | |

| I will answer only the question asked had become I will not question the one who has no answers by the time Pippin had finished his writing LOL!!! I enjoyed this little story a great deal! And I'm glad that Pippin found such a talented teacher - and a new friend in Berilac. Hildifons and Frodo offered their pupils something very special that nowadays a teacher seldom has: time. I wonder how many talented children have failed at school due to a far too tight time schedule. I won't blame the teachers in general because they suffer as much as the children do. Author Reply: As one who taught for over thirty years, yes, we don't have enough time--or too often support--to always give our children what we need to give them to succeed fully. I've seen bright children called dull because their learning disabilities are mistaken for stupidity, and children who once loved school come to loathe it because their needs are not met. It hurts. And at least there were to special teachers within the Shire who helped two exceptional individuals shine! Thank you so! | |

| Poor Pippin and, consequently, poor everyone else. Well done Frodo. It really takes one to know one. Author Reply: Oh, yes--it is hard when children don't get the specific training they need. And Frodo is able to learn from watching--and listening--to others describing their own experiences, and can recognize what he's heard of in others. I'm just so glad that Bilbo was his primary teacher! Thanks so, Liz. | |

| How wonderful that they could all be gathered together from so very away, yet near at the next heartbeat and thought. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I so agree, Antane. Thank you so! | |

| Beautiful, Larner! I especially liked the reference to the snowball-story. It's always wonderful to imagine that they were able to communicate with each other through the trees. Happy New Year! Author Reply: I am so glad whenever I can find ways to tie one story to another. Thank you so very much! And I do hope that the Valar allowed this kind of reassurance. | |
