| I think Sam is perfectly in character here: he shows "hobbit-sense" and of course the fighting spirit that will come to light on the Ring Quest. Very well-done! Nienor | |

| Dear Lindelea, You showed the growing hobbits' characters so cleaarly. Pippin, being dirtiest, needs longest to wash. Merry, already a book lover reads companionably with his uncle and, undergoing a growth spurt, trips over his feet.Scholarly Frodo is happier asking questions about gardening than learning by actually gardening. And Sam already chooses to please Frodo and give him his full attention even though he knows he'll have to work later. And all of this in a few, scant, opening paragraphs. You give us a rich sample of the daily doings of hobbits and of their upbeat, lively and co-operative nature. Even the duty bound Gaffer wasn't too grumpy.The required words were incorporated seamlessly in an unexpected plot. Merry being neither at risk nor the hero, but a supporting player. Oh yes. Frodo meant to ask Sam if the birds would be dining on the slugs or did birds like fresh meat, or if the slugs would be sweetening the compost heap. Ooops. I'm not reviewing now, am I. This is such a nice story I momentarily slipped back in to it. Author Reply: LOL! You hit many highlights in your delightful review. Nice to meet you! (At least, I don't recall seeing your name before. If you've left other reviews, my apologies for the lapse of memory.) | |

| You managed to include those words so very well, and in such a fascinating before-quest story. Author Reply: Thanks! These challenges were fun, and I'm only sorry that the original group of challengers has dissolved. | |

| So very like Sam to give the rest of his reward to his father knowing that they would need it. Once again, Sam's quick thinking saved the day. I wondered how you'd gotten the slugs into the story. I have some that are eating our outside cat's food and leaving trails on the porch, but unlike Sam, I'm not practical enough to get rid of them. Very cute story and fun to read! Author Reply: Thanks, GW. It was interesting, to try to get all those words in, and not the way they were expected by the person who issued the challenge! Our neighbor used to go out at night with a flashlight and bucket and drown slugs. Yech. | |

| Awww! What a lovely story! Drama and sweetness all mixed together. That had to be a *true* challenge to put all of those words together in a story--and you did it very well! Thanks for sharing your muse! :-) Pippinfan Author Reply: You're welcome, and thanks for stopping by! | |
