Lovely! Merry's going to help Degger, and I hope he gets Pippin in on it too! If those two team up to give the lad a bit of private tutoring it will be a big help!

Author Reply: Oh, I'd say something here, but I can't. The story is pretty much written except for the ending. Your antenae are up again, aren't they, lol? Actually, the thing with writing short tales is that I leave very little room for a reader's imagination. It's one of those things I, myself, am trhying to learn not to do--conveying too much too soon.

Thank you for reading! I'll be updating soon.

This is so promising! I did like Degger very much, so I'm looking forward to seeing how his problem gets solved.

I love the banter between Pippin, Pervinca and Merry in the garden.

And Pippin's "sass" for the teacher,LOL! I love the resigned way he headed for the corner. She's quite right, he's bored. And a bored Took is a dangerous Took. She'd better think up something before he does.

Author Reply: Thank you! I do have a penchant for writing dialogue, lol, can you tell? They're just kids being kids...hobbit style.

Glad you like Pippin's sauce! Pippin's reasoning for doing homework came from a conversation that Pearl Took and I had a while back--it tickled me to no end to discover we thought the same thing on that subject. However, she had the IQ to get away with it. :-P Oh, you are *so* right about a bored Took--lol, you ought to know!

Thank you for your wonderful encouragement!
