When Adventure Knocks  by Lily Dragonquill 45 Review(s)

That was another cute chapter!!! I guess I couldn't deny little Frodo any of his wishes, eyes and all. Just imagining that little hobbit boy...*lol* Anyway, I'm sure he's sorry Balin went away so early! I can remember a few times when my parents didn't wake me up when something important happened. I know I wouldn't have had the heart to wake a little child either, but I can also remember the other side...
I liked the character of the innkeeper and the story Bilbo told Frodo! *lol*

Author Reply: I would not be able to deny him anything either. I wonder how Primula manages. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

I do love this adventure! How I wish I could have accompanied them.

And of course I ADORE lines like this...

"Frodo squealed but did not protest when Bilbo snuggled him against him but instead curled into the loving hobbit's arms and smiled."

*sigh*

Author Reply: I knew you would love this line :)

So, Frodo would not go on without showing his tadpoles? That made me laugh!
I really like this story, please update soon!

Author Reply: Of course Frodo had to show his tadpoles. They are all his pride after all :)

I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

What an adventure! I especially love this:

"Frodo's eyes wandered form one to the other in wonder. All the tales Bilbo had told him so many times suddenly grew to life - more than they did usually and it had all begun with Balin's arrival the other day. A shiver of delight ran down his spine and he hoped his two companions would never stop their talking - even if he would not talk for the time their conversation lasted. For them it was a mere exchange of old memories but for Frodo it was legends coming to life."




Author Reply: Thanks a lot!
Frodo must hhave been really excited about their conversation.

lol aww sweet Frodo to want to surprise Bilbo... i'm surprised at the amount of work that he already did have done in terms of preparing the table. :D
so it's 1374 so is Frodo only 6 years old at that time? Since Frodo is born 1368, i guess that would make him 6... He's doing quite a lot for a six year old--i'm impressed =)

Author Reply: Young Frodo is almost six years old, yes :)
Considering the importance of a breakfast table (especially for hobbit children) I thought it would be all right if Frodo did the best he could :)

Sweeeetness!

"Yawning the child laid his head on Bilbo's lap and allowed himself to be snuggled."

Awwww. And...

"The boy could hardly wait for their trip to begin - his very own adventure, travelling with Bilbo and a dwarf across the Shire."

I can't wait, either!


Author Reply: How do you do that? I post a new chapter, and no matter when, you will need less than two hours to read and review :)

I'm glad you're enjoying this and I can assure you in the next chapter the journey will finally begin.

This is just great. We don't get nearly enough of Frodo being a perfectly normal, messy, into everything child. I love this. Mind you, if I were Bilbo I would be pulling my hair out by now - but I guess young Frodo is so adorable he makes up for it.

Author Reply: I guess young Frodo is so adorable he makes up for it.

I think so too, otherwise poor Bilbo would really be losing his nerves by now. :)

Oh my goodness, I think Frodo's about to have a real adventure walk right through the door of Bag End! What a delight of a story.

Author Reply: I guess Frodo's attitude to andventures is quite different to what he had expected. Thankfully it is not a dragon waiting at the door.

shireboundReviewed Chapter: 3 on 9/2/2004
This is so sweet! Frodo is so earnest and serious about everything he has to accomplish (and how quiet he needs to be), and Bilbo so understanding and compassionate. I just love them together.

Author Reply: I'm so happy you like this story.
