It's Smith's grandfather, Rider, before leaving Wootton Major for ever:

"Goodbye for now, Alf," he said. "I leave you to manage things as best you can, which is always very well. I expect it will turn out all right. If we meet again, I hope to hear all about it. ..."

(I wonder where he went, though... or does it mean he died? But how could he then meet the King of Faery again? There's much in this story that's mysterious to me!)

Estelyn Telcontar 11-02-2005 01:22 PM

Great, Guinevere! This is almost like a game of tennis, with some helpful ball boys/gals(?) (thanks, Tuor and arcticstorm!) assisting the main players. ;)

Guinevere 11-03-2005 03:47 PM

thank you, Esty! Well, I certainly wish there was more competition around... ;)

Ah, I found it!

'I must wait for my wife,' said Parish to Niggle. 'She'd be lonely. I rather gathered that they would send her after me, some time or other, when she was ready, and when I had got things ready for her.'

Guinevere 11-06-2005 08:05 AM

Correct, of course, Esty! I knew you'd get it now.

Estelyn Telcontar 11-06-2005 11:34 AM
