| This was a very leisurely paced chapter, but there were some nice bright sparks, particularly in the bits that showed Pippin's problems with his family. I can well understand why Paladin and Eglantine might be having problems with him. He went off as their own familiar boy, and he has returned a grown soldier who's adopted so many strange customs of foreign lands they've never heard of. The Standing Silence probably looks very weird in a Hobbit hole, but I can sort of see why Pippin might keep on doing it. Author Reply: I tried to keep it a bit lower key than the last two, which have been quite emotional, after all. The four Travellers are now part of the outer world, and in all my stories have brought this practice back to the Shire with them, and slowly that practice spreads to others as more in the Shire become aware of what the four of them did. Paladin is trying at last to understand, but isn't as rational as he ought to be after this visit. So glad you found the bright sparks in this chapter worth while. | |
