And Where Are the Children?  by Larner 3 Review(s)
Lady ForlongReviewed Chapter: Epilogue on 7/15/2025
Beautiful testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of hobbits of all ages, especially in the face of wanton destruction by evil and misguided people, not to mention their kindness toward a stranger whom they had every reason to distrust.

Author Reply: Indeed, Lady Forlong. The Big Men did so much evil within the Shire under the directions of both Lotho and Sharkey. I rejoice that Baldry, at least, did less than many of his fellows, and was able both to accept help from the Teasels and to find ways to aid them in return. I pray that he finds a good life in Bree.

Thank you so!

Am FINALLY getting that vacation I've not had since last September. Will you be home next week?
I'll be home most of next week, just a couple appointments to deal with. Maybe you can call me ahead of time so I don't miss you? It will be good to see you!

This was such a hopeful, joyful chapter! It really rounds out the story beautifully. Well done! I'm glad you reposted this after the hacker deleted it.

Author Reply: I so hope that Baldry found acceptance within Bree as he did among Lodo Teasel's family.

And I rejoice that at last I found the file, just where it ought to have been!

Thanks so much for all the reviews. I do need to add author's notes, I think.
