Yowsa!!! Way to go, Amos! Now that brings joy to my heart...an Entwhistle. And..."susurration"... Yikes! There's a fifty dollar word I've not heard before. I hope that Little Hawk (the hawk in the story, I mean) gets to drop in on Tom Balboadill one day soon to hear some of those pure notes rising and falling. I also can't help but wonder if Tom has a distant relative in the boxing trade...a not too bright fellow named Rocky Balboadill who won some renown, boxing in Gondor or Avalon or some some place like that...busting heads with dyslexic abandon. Y'know, everybody's gotta find his niche, and I believe Tom and Strawberry have found theirs. As for Mauron...like Dracula, he sucks.
