This one made me all sniffly (that's a good thing, really). Your
characterization of Frodo and Merry, especially, was great
and I could hear them in my head. Their reactions were perfect.

So warm and loving. I love this story!

Sweeeet story! I do adore snuggling, happy, loving hobbits, and a happy ending!

Thank goodness! I am very relieved that Paladin is going to be alright. I don't think Adelard should be allowed to bring the news any more though. He seems to have a bit of trouble expressing good news doesn't he?

Author Reply: LOL...that gosh darn Adelard! LOL... I'll work on him! Thank you for reviewing!

That's no place to leave a chapter! Lucky for you there is another one up after or I might have to resort to wailing and crying! LOL I am going quietly now............

Author Reply: I'm like you--I like a good cliff hanger! Actually, I didn't leave it there on the other site...I just happened to notice it was a very long chapter, and shortened it so I could add the Bilbo-Frodo talk on the severed part that wasn't there before.

And don't you ever be quiet! :-)

Wonderful! I love the bit about Adelard having his family in his pockets, hehehe!! And the tender understanding of Bilbo when Frodo admits that he is jealous and hurt, even though he didn't want Paladin to die. Wonderful!!

Pearl Took

Author Reply: I liked that bit, too--I love that childlike quality they all have. What I did, was cut the last chapter where it was (it wasn't like that *before*) because I wanted to resolve some of feelings he'd been experiencing along with Merry and Pippin while waiting for word on Paladin. Hence, and additional chapter. Thank you, Pearl!

What a lovely story. You filled Bag End full of my favoritest hobbits, and they were all there to comfort and tease and love each other. I'm *so* glad Paladin will be all right! Whew!

Author Reply: LOL...between you and Pearl! You gals are the best. :-)

As have replied to Pearl, I couldn't kill off Paladin because he has to chase the riff-raff out of the Shire twenty years later. I like all five hobbits as well; I just don't know 2.5 of their personalities well enough to write more about them. The half-point comes from Frodo; I have given him cameos in other stories, so he's not so much of an enigma to me. Then again, am I getting to know Frodo quite well in your own Shirebound Library! Ya never know... Take care.

And you are posting again in just a few minutes, right? Torment! Wretched, terrible torment!!!

Well done!

Author Reply: LOL...! I couldn't kill off Paladin! He has yet to charge with the Hobbit Light Brigade during the Scouring of the Shire. :-)

Nice story! There is a side of Bilbo that I don't think I've seen anywhere else. Can just imagine Bilbo with a young Pippin on his lap. Will be watching for updates, which I hope is soon.

Author Reply: Wow...that is a nice compliment coming from an obvious Bilbo/Frodo fan. More updates are on the way, and I hope to work in a nice chat between Bilbo and Frodo later on... Thanks again.

Compassionate Hearts is right! This is a wonderfully touching story. I really like your Bilbo and the way he is comfortable, yet not quite comfortable with the young lad, Pippin. I love him telling Pip about his adventure and Pippin asking if Bilbo likes his Took side. Wonderful!

Pearl Took

Author Reply: Pearl, I don't know what to say, except thank you. I would like to say more to the person who has been nothing but an encouragement all along the way--even though I know I still have a long way to go. How close are you to re-posting Cousins? No pressure! :-) I *loved* Mind Games! Take care.
