The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Well, she would have the knitting done for her. She's the wife of a former Congressman (now, the dead political consultant), a debutante and a former Miss Mississippi. The main part of the story is about him. But she's key in how she reacts to what he's done. And since he's dead, she gets to begin and end the story.

Wow. Who knew you were into chick-lit? j/k - sounds like a premise with Movie potential.

For me that would mess with my rereading time with LOTR. The early morning before work did ok today but I have no confidence I can keep that up. At least during lunches I should be able to get a little in.

AAACK! Are we missing a thread?

Check this out:

The New Hobbit Hole ends with Post #48323 on September 19, 2002.

BUT...

The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! Doesn't start until December 17, 2002 the day The Two Towers premiered.

While I'm sure it would have been my fault, we didn't have a thread pulled did we?

I know, but it's not really chick-lit. It is, however loosely based on a true story.

I can live with that.

It really ~is~ a fascinating story. Whether or not I can do any justice in telling it is a different matter.

Nope, those posts are Sept 2003. Someone wandered into the old hole by mistake, I guess there weren't locked threads then.

I do my best thinking before bed.

Prolly because that's the only time of the day I'm not worried about what needs to be done. :-D
