Clearing the Heir  by Lindelea 2 Review(s)

Ah, the familiar Lobelia we all know and love. Well-depicted.

Author Reply: Thanks! I understand Lobelia was modelled after a real person, some umbrella-wielding lady. At least I remember a passage in JRRT's letters to that effect. Imagine!

Saved by the bell! I don't think Lobelia is very bright really - persecuting he from whom she expects to inherit (and pinching his spoons) is driving him into finding an alternative heir just to infuriate her.

Like the punning title.

Author Reply: Thanks. There were so many titles to choose from:

To Heir is Human
A Breath of Fresh Heir
Change of Heir

etc. etc. etc.

Y'know, I don't think Lobelia is very bright, or if she is, she's been indulged and pandered to and given her own way for so long that she's forgotten how to be clever.

Thanks!
