| Ahhhhhh Excellent tale. Thank you so much for sharing it. *wipes tears from her eyes* Poor Aragorn - the scornful looks... And Merry - wise Merry and understanding Frodo and little Pip Gandalf should have hope - a wonderful group Author Reply: Most races in Middle-earth seem to have been resolutely monogamous - but I can't see men refusing to remarry. Especially when the future of their houses required them to have sons. And the security of their children required widows to find providers. But the hobbits are naturally sympathetic, I think. And sensitive to mood. Boromir always seems rather an outsider in the group - and an increase in understanding would certainly help them all to bond. | |

| A deep scar indeed, from beginning to end, and to all those involved. How sad. "The eyes of hobbits, dwarf and elf fixed on him with varying degrees of disbelief." This made me laugh. Good point, poor Aragorn! Cross-cultural fellowships can be very tricksy at times! Author Reply: Most other species seem to have been determinedly monogamous - I daresay they found Men to be more than a little morally loose at times! And poor Boromir! It will have left him badly hurt - and probably even more determine to protect Gondor, if anything, than he was before. | |
