Ah! I love competent capable hobbits! Trotter certainly dealt with those thieves - and tied them up so well. And he managed to retrieve those mushrooms!

Hildifons has those Rangers wrapped round his little finger!

Author Reply: I'm very fond of capable competent hobbits. And I love it when a hobbit turns the table on the Big Folks.

Of course he retrieved the mushrooms-- a hobbit always keeps his priorities straight!

*grin* Not hard to do for a Took!

Ah! How I truly love a capable Hobbit! And there's no question our Trotter is as capable as they come!

Author Reply: He is quite capable! And of course, I love showing hobbits showing up Men, LOL!

Two triumphs too! Now not only animals have to be wary of hobbits and stones but men also and even better finding those mushrooms... :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Yep. A hobbit with a stone is not to be trifled with!

But Trotter had something else on his mind. He went over to where he had emptied the bags, and sighed with relief. His bounty was undisturbed.

Hobbits! When it comes to mushrooms they forget everything else!

I very much enjoyed how Trotter proved to be as good a ranger as the men. And what's even better, he used hobbit techniques to capture the ruffians.
Very well done, Trotter :-)

P.S.: I've never heard the expression "treed" before. Does it mean trapped on a tree?

Author Reply: To answer your question first: yes, that's exactly what it means, usually used when dogs are hunting, and trap their prey up a tree-- most often in this country when hunting racoons or possums.

I'm glad you enjoyed Trotter's obssession with the mushrooms! I had fun with that.

And I also liked the idea that he was using hobbity means to his end!
