| Oh dear, Elemmire! RL gets so busy and, while I kept up with reading this gem, the reviews got left behind. I blink and find that you have reached the last chapter already! So I promise a bumper crop of reviews when I get home tonight. You are now on my alert list so I won't have to keep looking for when you post. Author Reply: I was wondering where you went to, Harrowcat. It's nice to hear from you again. I know what you mean about RL--it's like it gets in the way sometimes, depending on what's going on. Take your time reading ... the tale isn't going anywhere. :D ~Julie~ | |

| I find it quite humorous that Bilbo is all worried about "child-proofing" the smial for a lad who has entered his tweens! LOL! It's a good thing Frodo can't read Bilbo's mind at this point in time--he'd be throroughly embarrassed. Yet in a way, Bilbo's right--he does have a few things the lad might find tempting to handle. Thank goodness for Bell's sage advice. I can just imagine her chuckling after the Master heads back up the Hill, and shaking her head fondly. Author Reply: Bilbo knows that tweens, especially this one, can be curious and get themselves into all sorts of mischief. He's not too worried about Frodo burning his hand on the stove, or the unsafe things around that say a faunt might get into, however, Bag End _does_ hold a few temptations for the older child. Bilbo may be an old bachelor, but he's not stupid; he is coming to understand what a great responisibility raising a child will be and as any parent, he just wants Frodo to be happy and safe. Yes, Bell must certainly chuckle and shake her head fondly after many conversations with Bilbo. I think Bell also feels a bit flattered that the Master of Bag End seeks _her_ out for child-rearing advice. LOL! Thank you, Dreamflower! | |

| Awww, I love that. Anything that helps Frodo feel more at home (as opposed to him feeling as if he's living in *Bilbo's* home) is a good thing. And ground rules are *always* good thing. Author Reply: Thank you, Shirebound! There will be much more of that sentiment to come. I'm so happy you are enjoying this. :D | |
