What wouldn't one do to make an excuse to have a pause with doing one's work...
But with the wolves being so excellent there was one nasty drawback from my point of view. For I had decided it in the beginning that I would make my narrations in a way that would lead the werewolves - through their Nightly discussions - to become more and more good in the end. I indeed thought that at some point they would cease killing the hobbits for good and would just lock them up or something. But the hobbits would have become crueller and crueller by Day so that it would indeed have raised the question who was good and who was bad in the end...
Sadly it never got that far...
