| Abelard is clever - unlike the Sackville-Bagginses. Otho is a nasty piece of work. And predictable. And the accusations have become so ridiculous as to be quite entertaining for young Frodo. Wings! Walking through walls! Author Reply: Well, at least you can’t fault those farmers for poor imaginations! As for the S.-B.s…they’re almost too easy to cast as the villains, aren’t they? Though Lobelia and Lotho usually have all the fun…thought I’d give Otho his turn in the limelight. Thanks for your comments! | |

| What a lovely story. Characters are so hobbity & it's great to see a 'normal' view of The Shire. Don't leave us in suspense too long! Blossom Author Reply: Hi Blossom (a good hobbity name, that!), I’m glad you’re enjoying it. My other stories all have their share of angst, so it’s been fun writing something with no greater crisis than mushroom snatching! :) Thanks for reviewing and don’t worry, soon all will be revealed! | |

| Abelard is a wonderful character. I also like the way you've written Bilbo. Otho's last remark is very interesting. Author Reply: I’m so glad you like Abelard, as OCs can be a risky endeavor. It’s also nice to hear you like my take on Bilbo. Thanks again for all the encouragement, and hope you enjoy the denouement! | |

| Why do I have the distinct feeling one of the Netherfields is cooperating with Otho in this situation? And Frodo enjoys it, does he? Sly young Hobbit. Author Reply: Thief or not, Frodo is still a rascal! As for your guesses, you’ll soon see if they’re close to the mark… Thanks for reviewing! | |

| The lad wasn’t helping things, either, stopping at intervals and fixing his gaze on some tempting item or other, until the vendor all but leaped protectively in front of his wares. ROTFL!!! Oh my, that is great! Well, I should not approve of Frodo's behaviour, but actually I do ;-) I particularly liked the little faunt who looked for his "wings"! So, it should be clear that Frodo did not perform the last mushroom raid, because he was watched by Bilbo and the shirriff (although he obviously fell asleep). That's what a sensible hobbit would conclude - but not the farmers! They need the thief in person to accept that Frodo is not to blame. However, Otho's last remark leaves me wondering like Abie. What did he mean? Or has he something to do with the raids? Well, Abie will find out! He may be no Sherlock Holmes, but he has the right amount of good hobbit sense! Author Reply: Hi Andrea! The market scene was fun to write, so I’m glad it gave you a chuckle! And you’re right…Abie’s good hobbit sense will make a detective of him yet. As for Otho’s remark, stay tuned! Hehehe… Thanks for reviewing! | |
