| So there really *was* treasure buried in Bag End... Sancho Proudfoot was on the right track! | |

| Fascinating. Quite looking forward to finding out what is so special about the stone. Early in the chapter you made me quite sad for Aragorn, who would someday ban himself and all other Men from the Shire... | |

| Finally! Got back to read a bit more, very sneakily. Will I become like Gollum? You had me looking in vain for Lobelia to appear: Bilbo suspected that Scamp sensed how others felt about (and treated) Frodo, and reacted to them accordingly -- but Frodo simply thought that the pup was a good judge of character. Perhaps another chapter before returning from lunch break... | |

| *sighs* Oh Shirebound, yet another lovely story under your belt! I am kind of sorry it's finished already as I love the interactions between Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Aragorn - and how could I not love Scamp? Oh I love that little pup and I hope she'll make another appearance VERY SOON! It is a shame Sam was not there in the final chapter of this story as I am more than a bit partial to him - but I suppose you're right in that it was too soon for him to meet his first Elf, whether or not this is an AU story! Still I missed seeing what his reaction would have been to Arminas...*g* Again this was a lovely, lovely, lovely story and I eagerly await your next story whenever you begin to post it! Author Reply: Thank you! I began writing this story amidst the post-ROTK angst, and it was a very soothing and healing experience. I'm so happy that folks enjoyed it. | |

| Janet, What a lovely ending..but it sure is time Bilbo did something about those pesky trolls-always trying to get people into trouble!!!! Helen Author Reply: Thanks, Helen. Ah, the trolls... Frodo *must* enjoy having them on the premises -- they're so handy when mischief just "happens"! :) | |

| I usually prefer not to read WIPs, since I hate to be left hanging, but I think you are one of the few authors I would make an exception for. That's not the only exception I'm making here either: stories that give main characters a non-canon child or pet usually make me gag. But I think the fact that Scamp seems to be mostly a means to move the plot, rather than being the story's end-all-be-all, helps a lot. And, oh, what the hell, I'm not entirely immune to cuteness, whether hobbit or puppy! You've even got me wanting a puppy, and I'm a confirmed cat person through and through. And I love the tie-in to Beren and Luthien: it reinforces the way Tolkien connected that story to Frodo's. Am anxiously awaiting the conclusion! -Rowan | |

| I love how you have captured the curiosity and sense of adventure of the Bagginses! They just *had* to dig, there was no choice. Nice detail about Beren too - and nice foreshadowing of what is yet to come for Aragorn. | |

| Okay, bad suggestion. I realize that each copy has slightly different pages. So perhaps, instead of giving page numbers, you could just give the chapters instead. You know, narrow it down to something besides the entire book, but not quite as specific in the page. For example, the end of Ch.19:Of Luthien and Beren. In the case of my copy, p. 283 is the chapter title page for "Of Rings of Power and the Third Age", so for me there really isn't any text to speak of on that particular page. My book is a hardcover copy of the Houghton Mifflin Company 2nd Edition, 2001 | |

| I wonder what Frodo and Sam did to his cloak? | |
