Lobelia Sackville-Baggins Is Dead by Virtuella
Larner · 3 October 2010 · Chapter 3: Day Three
Oh, Virtuella--how absolutely precious! No mystery at all other than how it is one such as Pippin manages to get by day to day, armed with a most dangerous imagination! Lovely! Thanks so for a good many chuckles!

//a most dangerous imagination// Absolutely. ;-) Thank you!

“It seems a shame that I don’t have a nephew.” LOL!!! That's Miss Marple! And we also have Sam "Columbo" Gamgee. Very nice! It's a shame that Pippin did not solve the case. For his solutions were very -- inventive :-) Just one last question about that funny nursery rhyme: What is a tuffet? I could not find it in my dictionaries. Pippin compares it to a cushion, but then again Pippin is VERY imaginative ;-)

Thank you, glad you liked it. A tuffet, BTW, is a kind of upholstered stool.

Oh - I do love Miss Pippin Marple there... and Sam - the perfect Columbo! Mind you, I had guessed wrong all the way through - I thought the vase had been put back in place wrongly and had fallen down and hit her on the head. Well done!
Author's reply
Thank you! I thought Columbo and Sam have a fair amount in common, personality-wise.

I thought we might see Peregrin Marple in the last chapter, and there he was! :))) I like the details like the pink scarf and the nephew. :) Lovely, funny, entertaining little story, I liked it a lot. :) P.s. Just one small error, a missing letter. In the paragraph after the song, you have the sentence "The widow was open". ;)

Thanks a lot, and thanks for spotting the typo!

So, Pippin is channeling Hercules Poirot, while Merry is feeling like Laurel and Hardy! Okay--so, why does she have broken fingernails and wood under one of them?
Author's reply
It'll all be resolved in the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

"We have to use the little grey cells." “You mean the lockholes?” said Merry, aghast. LOL!!! Hercule Poirot if I'm not mistaken! So, the shirriff's name is Underhill? Very suspicious ;-)
Author's reply
Everything is suspicious! ;-) Thanks for reviewing.

So, we have Poirot in this chapter! *lol* I am so enjoying this story. :)
Author's reply
Glad to hear that, thank you!
Andrea · 26 September 2010 · Chapter 1: Day One
Great beginning! Sherlock Holmes - wannabe ;-) - and Dr. Watson if I'm not mistaken! But Dr. Watson (aka Merry) found the major clue so far and Holmes (aka Pippin) does not know about it. This is going to be very interesting.
Author's reply
I hope it will be. Thanks for reviewing!

Oh dear - I really shouldn't laugh when it is possible that dark deeds are afoot... but I do love Sherlock Peregrine Took.
Author's reply
Thank you! More soon...

So, we have a great detective here? :) I enjoy reading this - it is so funny, but not exaggerated - in one word, excellent. :)
Larner · 23 September 2010 · Chapter 1: Day One
Ah, dear Lobelia. Let's see: shaky ladder, upset parlormaid, vase being dusted on a high shelf, pottery shard picked up by Merry--and Pippin going decidedly Sherlock Holmsian on us. Well, the rest will be much devoted to seeing how Merry manages his younger cousin! Heh!
