Ilove these. One for each hobbit and each so true to character. Lovely!

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 3 on 6/18/2007
Good to see another addition to this one, MarigoldG. It has been a time; and this is a fitting one to follow your last stories.

Thank you!

Author Reply: This is a very late thank you I am afraid! I'm glad you liked this, thank you!

“This one holds no more enchantment than the first I am afraid, save the magic that binds one good friend to another.”

“That is a wonderful magic Gandalf. And, though I don’t need anything to remember you, I will treasure this always. Thank you.”


Oh, *sniff, sniff,* beautiful Marigold

I just love the relationship you have between Gandalf and Pippin -- it's so sweet and so real. Now Pippin will always have something to remember Gandalf by. Hey -- another lovely item for the High King to pass on to Faramir along with a certain silver and pearl comb set -- or perhaps bequeathed to Aragorn? ;-)

Author Reply: Thanks T! The relationship between Pippin and Gandalf is second only to that between Pippin and Merry on my favourites list. I'm so glad that you thought the way I wrote them to be realistic!

The keepsake stayed behind in the Shire when Merry and Pippin retired to Minas Tirith, so that the hobbits of the Shire would never forget Gandalf. Pippin kept it in a display case of gold and crystal that he had Gimli make for him, and it sat on the mantle in the Thain's Study for generations. The Tooks have very generously let Llinos look after it for a while!

Oh! Such wonderful changes from inviting to harsh, pleasant to cruel. they gave me shivers. Wonderfully done, Marigold!!

Wonderful word pictures of each of our four as represented by the four elements.

Author Reply: Thanks! I am so glad that you could see the pictures!

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 1 on 5/17/2006
A wonderful manner of looking at various weathers, pleasant at home; intimidating and deadly on the quest.

Author Reply: Thank you Larner! I am glad that you liked them!

Perfect comparisons in both of these Marigold. I especially loved the picture of Pippin bubbling like water.

Author Reply: Thank you so much Harrowcat! I could see Pippin as water very clearly... : )

Wow... what great insights into the character of each person. Sam was obviously earth, that one was easy, but until I read each one I couldn't decide who was which element. Once I read them though... how could they be anything else? Excellent writing, Marigold. I've heard so much about you from people whose stories you beta... it's a treat to read some of your own work now.

Author Reply: Goodness, thank you! I am glad that you like my own stories (well, so far, lol!). Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
