| "But I am not short-sighted at all! Not even for all my reading, though you say I shall ruin my eyes." This line made me crack up again! And the one about it being too hot for grandsons. The innocence and blissful ignorance of youth. | |

| "I shall personally see Bilbo to our quarters, provide him with pen and ink, and watch over him, blotter in hand, until he has finished today's entry.' Behind his hand, he whispered, and I'll make sure your spelling is satisfactory into the bargain. Bilbo gave a sigh of relief." This moment made me love Bungo. Everyone should have a Dad like this. It gave me all the warm feels! | |

| "This is the dullest, most tiresome pasttime that was ever invented. Yes, Grandfa, I know you will be reading this!" This made me crack up so hard!!! I did practically the exact same thing when I was the equivalent of this age when I was forced to, you guessed it! Keep a journal. | |

| "H-how did you know?' Bilbo stammered, forgetting that he was talking to a mad hobbit, for Isengar was making a wonderful amount of sense with his shrewd guesses." I love this line, it seems to me the first moment, truly just a split second of a moment, where Bilbo (and the reader) has an inkling that Isengar isn't 'crazy'. Poor Isen truly reminds me of an old seafaring Captain, not a Hobbit who is still relatively 'young' (not old). I absolutely love this scene because he seems truly like a normal uncle who's enjoying a chance to rib his nephew for a bit, but also provide some quality entertainment and ideas. | |

| I am glad they are involving Isen in the discussion. And they will undoubtedly make it to the Great Smials safely, although the way home might prove blocked. Author Reply: Isen is growing stronger... All he has to do is to hold his tongue sufficiently at the Yuletide celebration. Easier said than done. Thanks! | |

| I get a few of those 'weather aches' myself! I know Bilbo will enjoy traveling in the snow. Author Reply: Ah, weather aches! Do you suppose they might be more accurate than meteorologists? (I had a good friend who was a meteorologist. Fascinating field of study. My favorite part of a newscast is always the weather, fancy that!) Bilbo's young enough to enjoy travel in snow... I wonder what he thought about it in later years? Thanks! | |

| Such a light dusting of snow--just a harbinger, I suppose. I love the bit at the end! "Cheep cheep"! :) Author Reply: Ah, yes, there may well be heavier snows in their future. I'd say the chances are good. :) Thanks! | |

| Quite the roundabout route to Tuckborough, I must say. And the Hobbits must have been in great delight with so much good food to enjoy along the way! Author Reply: Definitely the scenic route! And our long car trips can resemble that journey somewhat, at least in the amount of snacks the tweens pack for their comfort... but then you can never quite fill up a tween. I'd love to be so organized as Bella and pack hampers of real food. (Though they wouldn't fit in our little car, not with all the baggage one must take, to a tournament or on a camping trip, and when the pup arrives, that'll be one more body and bag of supplies to contend with!) | |

| Bilbo liked to look into the windows of the buildings they passed, almost like illustrations from a book, little slices of life. His true nature is revealed here, as a reader, writer, poet, and observer of life. I like this little detail very much. And now I'm *quite* hungry for my own breakfast! Author Reply: I hadn't thought of that! Lovely insight, thanks. I know, coffee is not enough of a breakfast. | |
