Oh I just love the idea of Thorin encountering Lobelia! priceless!

Oh, LOL! I cracked up at this one! Thorin vs. The Shire...no wonder the poor guy had trouble. I'd be cranky too...

This is a real change for you. I don't believe you've ever written about Hobbits and Dwarves before. It's a great start and I'd love to read more.

Love this explanation of why Thorin was so snarky when he arrived at Bag End. Anyone would be less than charitable if they had encountered Lobelia along the way. LOL!

Love this explanation of Thorin's less then charitable mood when he arrived at Bag End. First getting lost, then running into Lobelia, and then having Holman talking non-stop about hobbit genealogy that he could not possibly have any interest in. No wonder he is so grumpy when he arrives at Bag End.

Except that Otho should have been seen by her as Bilbo's heir as Lotho was still not born yet (he was only a few years older than Frodo, after all, and Frodo was born about twenty years later), this sounds just like Lobelia. Love the characterization of Holman, too. Delightful!

Author Reply: Wow, thanks for catching that bad goof with Lotho instead of Otho! I was trying to be so careful with the timeline, too. ;-) It's all fixed! Thanks for the review, too. I really had fun with this one.
