When Winter Fell  by Lindelea 2 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 25 on 3/6/2010
I agree--love seeing the nod to Dreamflower's Miss Dora! And how wonderful to see Bilbo grown here to the best of being a Baggins--accepting this sacrifice out of not only Good Manners but out of true love and charity for Insengard! Wonderful!

Author Reply: Yes, I think Bilbo is growing nicely into the kindness and pity that later becomes a Baggins byword.

Thanks!

Hope this finds you feeling better.

How wonderful to see another chapter of this! I love the description of the frosty morning-- so exquisite!

And Bilbo's determination to weather his disappointment is a wonderful precursor to the generous and thoughtful hobbit he will become.

(And Miss Dora thanks you for your nod to her collection of Advice! At that point in time, she was still very young and not in a position to be of Much Service to her older cousin...though I myself am sure that if he'd asked her, young as she was, she would most certainly have given her opinion!)

Author Reply: Miss Dora is most welcome.

"weather his disappointment" -- such a lovely and appropriate turn of phrase, considering the driving force behind this story.

Thank you again for your help!
