Yes, why IS that umbrella oddly shaped? I bet she doesn't let him have the stuff back, but I hope he makes her. Grasping people. What do they think stuff will avail them?? (Had a sister-in-law like this.)

Heh, I loved that! You have captured Lobelia perfectly and the last line was a killer!

LOLOL!! An excellent snapshot of Lobelia. Very good! Might you consider a drabbling a snapshot of her post-Ring War?

Author Reply: Hmmm... now there's an idea. I'll have to reread that part of Scouring of the Shire to refresh my memory. Then we'll see what ferments. Thanks for the idea and especially the review, Karri. I'm glad you liked the drabble.

I thought that was absolutly hillarious.
Loved the lumpy umbrella!!

Just went through something simliar myself. You actually wrote my late father-in-laws girlfriend lol.

Author Reply: Oh dear! I hope you found all the items hid in the girlfriend's umbrella, Carol. ;)

I'm glad you liked my little piece of humor. I appreciate you dropping me a note to say so!

I think this is very nicely done! It captures her (Lobelia) perfectly -- and I can picture her face when she's caught at the end.

Author Reply: I can picture her face when she's caught at the end. That's what I like about drabbles. I can leave all the hard work (like describing Lobelia's face!) to the very clever reader. ;)

Thank you for your comments, Leaward. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed this. :)

snerk! "Why is your umbrella oddly shaped?" Oh, that made me laugh out loud. A nice bit of humor, and a lovely character study too, in the rationals Lobelia gave herself. I like this. I like all your drabbles.

Author Reply: Thank you for the review, Lamiel. I'm glad you like Lobelia's rationalization. I'm sure she had her reasons for taking the items. Even if they only made sense to her. LOL

And thanks too for the comment about my other drabbles!

Ah yes - the articles 'that had somehow fallen inside her umbrella'. Nice drabble, LKK. Poor Lobelia!

Author Reply: Ten points to Jay for correctly identifying the inspiration quote! :)
I feel sorry for Lobelia, somewhat. I'm sure she thought she was doing the right thing. It's all in the perspective, isn't it?

Thanks for the review, Jay!
