AHAHAHA. Projectile shallot! That's awesome. What a way to make a first impression. XD Maybe a bit embarassing, but having the accuracy to lodge a careening vegetable into the ears of her loose-lipped foe certainly will be the talk of the town. XD

I am glad it made you smile!

Indeed it did! I wish we had local places like that in the states. Anymore, it's just by chance that the same people hang out in the same place. Ahwell. I like this installment, though I do have to wonder if she'd ever try to hit up the "Evil" cask.

Time will tell!

you have a way with words- that food seems really, really appetizing!

anna's tough! really a bunch of unique, interesting characters you see here, too :> "jovial" is the word i would use to describe this chapter. i really, really liked reading this! you're a fantastic writer, miss rabbit!

Goodness me! Thank you so much for the kind words! I do try and make something unique, and I am so glad that you enjoy my literary fumblings!

fumblings, nothing! you're an author if i ever saw one!

I second this wholeheartedly! Motion carried!

Lovely work. A cast of characters already developing nicely.

Mainly because of the efforts of this ever expanding family!

Yes, I remember that picture. ;3

Captivating, entertaining and addictive. I thirst for more, I need to know how she gets on. I'm concerned about where she's going to sleep for the night; I doubt she'll be in any shape to bike back up the path in the dark, judging by all the drink she'll be awarded with! I know I want to hear her story and get to know her.

It is so hard to read this story critically, because you make it so easy to get emotionally involved with the protagonist. I don't know what to do with myself!

You write a lot like one of my favourite and I think one of the most underrated authors; Brian Jaques. Your intensive and expertly depicted imagery of things like food, clothing, setting and mood are so very acute and informative, without seeming forced nor leaving anything to be inferred. This leaves plenty of room for mirth and warmth, giving everything you write real heart, which Mr Jaques is an expert at. I languish as I wait to see what happens next.

I wish this were a completed novel so I could consume it all in one go and dive eagerly into the next volume.

Brian Jacques

this is also what i was thinking. you summed it up better than me, high five, hare guy!

*high fives!*

It all seemed so familiar, so comfortable, but I couldn't put my finger on it... then the meal arrived, soon after my mouth began to water and a lightbulb came on above my head as to why it felt so cozy.

After that comment I bought 'Mossflower'. First of his books so I have been told. Reading it at the moment. Please do not compare me to Mr Jacques...from what I have read so far...I AM NOT WORTHY!

You've never read his stuff? It's sooooooo much like yours, I thought there would totally be direct influence. Wait until he starts going on about food, you'll see what I mean. And you are very worthy of the comparison.

Also Mossflower is one of my all time favourites. Although "Long Patrol" was quite good too!

I just found out that 'Redwall' was his first...and that it was written for children at a school for the blind. The man is a genius...he uses scents, sounds and tastes to create atmosphere, rather than rely on pure image...

I did it by accident, he did it by design. THAT is craftsmanship. I shall have to read more. I finished Mossflower last night. Bulk buying his work second hand on Amazon...I must learn from him.

Simply wonderful!

Hehe, quite the unexpected surprise, furthering the meaning of 'stick it in your ear', as cliche` as that may be, with the added humor of the dreaded bathtime. XD Quite well done and I indeed do see just were you put that little bit we talked about it. Though now I feel I may need to inquire further on some interesting cuisine, too.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys, it really does put fuel in the tank of my creativity engine!

I am working on parts 4, 5, 6 & 7! All at once. Yeesh.

Don't get too far ahead of yourself, silly bunny. :P

I can't help it, you lot like it, so I want to write it!

That's awesome. You just brought your story from great to fantastic. Well done - looking forward to even more! = D
