| Absolutely beautiful!! I was reading right along and when you first hinted of Aragorn pushing the young hobbits on toward Rivendell, I thought, gee, I wish she'd write something about that bit of their journey! And presto! there it was! :-D I was captured from the first word on, and I SO enjoyed the tale of the younger hobbits forging on for the love of Frodo. Did I imagine it, or was there a bit of hypo-glycemia going on there with Merry and his trembling hands? This is another place where I thought the good Professor cheated our wee friends out of their due reward. ;-) I'm looking forward to more! Pippinfan Author Reply: *grin* I'm so glad I was able to fulfill your wish. Really the part where he thinks about driving them so hard was one of the first parts of this I thought of. I wasn't aiming *specifically* for hypo-glcemia, but that is one of the effects, as it is for a lack of food, exhaustion, and stress, along with the need to keep going in spite of it all. With a hobbit's metabolism, that could easily be part of the cause. Next up: Legolas. | |

| Aha! Able to read and review once more! A delightful respite from computer troubles, although word is my trusty Toshiba is no more! Alas, there is grief, but still hope. Merry and Pippin have toughened up a good deal, and will survive. Lovely, lovely scenes here, and beautiful writing to support it. Author Reply: It's so good that you can read and review again! I hope that all the computer troubles will soon completely be a thing of the past! They have toughened up a great deal--had a "bit of schooling" as Sam put it, and they are no longer quite so vulnerable as they once were. They *will* survive--but those pursuing them are not privy to all that *we* know, and they are very worried about their "little ones". Those three want their hobbits back, thank you very much. And thank you very much for the compliments! | |

| Yet he remembered with a pang of guilt how he too had driven them nearly beyond endurance, driving them not by whips but by the lash of their fear and love for Frodo. Oh my, what a burden of guilt for Aragorn! This is a marvelous chapter, Dreamflower. Author Reply: Yes, I think he would have felt very guilty over having driven them so hard, even though it was necessary. And it seemed to me an apt contrast, between being driven by force, and being driven by love. | |
