| You have me giggling with this one. Ah, dear Lobelia! Dear, avaricious Lobelia! Author Reply: Oh, you just know she was making a mental list every time she visited! "I want this, and this, but I'll get rid of that atrocity first thing! What a disappointment it must have been to suffer the indignity of an auction, instead of having it all willed directly to her! Thank you for being such a faithful reader and commenter! You're a treasure yourself! | |

| Lobelia has so much personality! One of the few memorable female characters in the LOTR. I laughed at her pondering whether to give the old Gaffer the stuff that was too worn too sell, and her honest appraisal of her own son shows her shrewdness. Who to watch Otho? ROFL! How disappointed she must have been when it turned out that the rumors of Bilbo's death had been greatly exaggerated! Author Reply: I think the origins of this lie in my now-lost Second Drabble ever; I remember writing this type of thing early on but, because lists were allowed at HASA, I foolishly tossed it aside. Now, older and wiser (and with a perhaps-misplaced great confidence in my writing), I tried to recreate her unique combination of hypocrisy and charm.

| Very typical Lobelia! Who to watch Otho, indeed?! Author Reply: Poor lady. What energy, what cunning! If only those powers had been harnessed for good, rather than evil! I'm so glad she ended up a bit of a heroine; a salute to the innate good-heartedness of hobbitry. | |
