| The weeks after Bilbo's return must have been difficult indeed. I love the liberation I sense in Bilbo giving up being conventional, predictable and overly responsible! Taking Frodo as his heir seems to have brought back a little of each. Author Reply: Oh, I agree, Harrowcat. Bilbo has realized just how restrictive his life has been and has determined to give that over. Bless him! And if he regained some of his old traits at Frodo's arrival, yet it was now, I think, a positive rather than a negative step. Thanks! | |

| Miserable selfish thing. I find it hard to imagine that she could feel grief for the baby...but I guess that's harsh, since she did change later. Author Reply: She may have been as self-centered as possible, but in the end she did find redemption. I am just so glad for both hers and Frodo's sakes that she did! And it was just plain FUN to imagine the original source of that umbrella of hers! | |

| You beat me with the Bilbo's return story - and will I ever manage to continue Elf-root? - but my, was this funny! I loved everyone giving Lobelia the cold shoulder... and how her thievery has brought unexpected fruit, after all. How on EArth do you manage to write so much? I so envy you for this gift. Author Reply: Well, will you manage to complete Elf-root? Come onn! Write it! I just write too much, although the two challenge pieces have been finished for almost a month, just sitting there, and I had to write the first one posted here cuz I had written the second one.... I need to get back into edit mode now.... Thanks, Soledad. | |

| Second, he no longer seemed to think he was required to be predictable. I do love Bilbo! Frodo is my soul-mate but Bilbo is a lovely role model too for me. :) I do long to be unpredictable and have adventures. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Just make certain to keep your integrity intact as Bilbo did! Heh! That will see you through! | |

| Well, Bilbo did lose his good reputation after his adventure, but he didn’t deserve *these* relatives, no matter how disreputable he was in their eyes (I’ll not mention that I see the matter a bit different ;-)). I can’t help it, but every time I see her sneaking around and stealing or slandering someone, I’m practically fuming. Well, at least she got caught this time – yay for Bess having no qualms about searching her bodice! But I’m not happy about the spoons in the umbrella. Sometimes I get the feeling Lobelia has stolen together half of her household! Did she send these things back to the true owners after her release from the Lockholes, after getting back what could be saved from the ruffians, I wonder? This makes me wonder how Aragorn would have dealt with her if things had been different. She’d probably driven even him to distraction *shakes head* Author Reply: NO ONE deserves relatives like Otho and Lobelia! No one! We know that those silver spoons went missing--now we know the specifics of it! As for how Aragorn would have dealt with her, that is indeed a subject for speculation. | |

| I'm sue Lobelia has a fixation on spoons! I loved the way you descibed the now popular view of Bilbo. Author Reply: She certainly seemed to have such a fixation. And we know that Bilbo was nowhere as popular after his adventure as before, of course. Thanks so for the feedback. | |
