So, Gandalf gave Denethor a pipe? Interesting gift to the Steward's heir, and interesting that he doesn't mind in the least that Faramir's willing to mouth it. Heh!

It is nice to see that Denethor was once a kind father to Faramir. I loved the hilarious ending.

Thank you:) I'm very glad that it works and that you liked the ending:) Yes, I figure he must have had the patience to spend quality time with the two boys when they were very young, even if he may not have later:o

OK, now tell us - WHAT is the long wooden gift with a cup like end, from Gandalf? A drinking ladle? A ball-and-cup game? Spear launcher? Firework stand?

Pipe :)

THAT was fun! And I could just see Faramir's face at the taste of the quill. And Denethor letting him chew on the pipe! Lovely!

thank you:) I'm very glad to hear you liked it. There was probably some ink still left on that quill... he must ahve wandered around with a blue or black tongue:)

I am not sure that 'kind' is quite the word I would use!

Awww, this was so sweet! Thank you for writing a sympathetic Denethor! And him letting Faramir demolish Mithrandir's gift was so much evil fun! *g*

I figured of all the things Denethor was willing to forego that must rank the first:) thank you for reviewing. I'm really glad you liked it:)

How cute! I've always thought that Denethor was at least passing good as a parent in the first few years. Probably wasn't a natural with kids, but he cares for both of them in his own way.

I figured he would have certainly tried. And he might have had some bit of patience at least with the kids while finduilas was alive. I'm glad you liked it:)
