| Antane | Reviewed Chapter: 27 on 8/19/2007 |
| I love it! Ever practical Sam, so wise and loving! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Very much so... down-to-earth and knowing just the right thing (and probably learned over the course of previous pregnancies...) *g* Thanks! | |

| *grins* This is sweet! Only a Hobbit would count that being spoiled. :) I'm the eldest of four, and seeing that all three younger ones are all right, not watching, saying, or doing something they shouldn't when the parents aren't around is a trial. I can't imagine what it would be like with thirteen children or twelve younger siblings! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: LOL! Well, I figure once they figured out where all the children were coming from, and yet didn't stop, that they must have enjoyed children and looked forward to more! Thanks! | |

| Sam and Rosie are my favorite fictional couple of all time. After twelve pregnancies Sam must know how to handle an emotional, hormonal wife. Very sweet! Author Reply: I think Sam is a very practical, down-to-earth fellow. Thanks! | |

| Rugby union needs fifteen. Perhaps they'd better have a few spares ... So hobbits are superstitious about thirteen, too? Rosie and Sam are very intrepid. More than ... three or so ... requires a special level of nerve. And a very good memory - or you'd never be able to fit the right name to the right child. Author Reply: Hmmm. Maybe that's what they were after. After all, with Mum and Dad counted in, Tolman makes fifteen... We have only three and still have trouble fitting names. | |

| Aw! This is sweet :-) But they did just have their "Baker's Dozen". I think you have a plot bunny here . . . Author Reply: They did, although I'd read that there was for a time a 14th named Lily (or Lilly?) in one of the draft genealogies. I did write Rosie's pregnancy with Tolman as a "surprise" when both she and Sam thought she was "past it"... Amazing how JRRT set Tolman's birth in the year that Sam, Rose and Elanor travelled to Gondor. I wonder if he had a plot bunny nibbling at his ankles? | |

| Ah, but they did stop with thirteen, and I doubt Rosie regretted it in the end. Sweet Sam, to offer such a solution! Heh! Author Reply: LOL, Sam probably knows that pregnancy hormones make a wife somewhat illogical... (especially after 12!) | |

| How can 13 children be considered unlucky? But 14's better! *g* Author Reply: There you go! Putting math to good use. | |

| LOL How many women do you know that would consider being allowed to have 14 children, being spoiled? I loved that line! Rose and Sam are so sweet and so much in love and such wonderful parents. Now this review is almost longer than a drabble! Author Reply: LOL! One of the wedding toasts I attribute to hobbits is "a dozen children" so perhaps it's not all that uncommon a perception in the Shire! *g* Thanks! | |
