| Ah, such a delightful chapter, and to see Bilbo interrupting the sale of his own household furnishings in such a marvelous way! And then to look at the situation from Godilo's POV--just too perfect! It's just too perfect! Author Reply: Flatterer! :) I'm glad you like Godilo, though. I chose him because I wanted someone who isn't exactly hostile towards Bilbo like the SBs, in fact, even loyal to a certain grade, being his lawyer and all, but who's conservative enough to look at Bilbo's actions most suspiciously. | |

| I was chuckling throughout the chapter. The quaint ways of hobbits can be quite... ridiculous. :) I like how Bilbo's change is noted by the other hobbits, with that glint in his eyes. Good idea to make Frodo the image of Drogo. That’s true, Bilbo had dealt with a dragon worse than Lobelia... what Sackville-Baggins or Bracegirdle can face him now? I am more and more curious about this Elf-root. Does it have something to do with that troll-treasure??? -Kitt Author Reply: Heh! Yes, you can't face a living dragon and hope to remain unchanged. The SBs don't know whom they are really dealing with. The secret of the Elf-root will be revealed, soon. Although, I'm afraid, it's a lot more harmless than everyone thinks. Hopefully, you won't be disappointed. | |

| Ha!Ha! I am thuoroly enjoying this, it's almost like reading an extended version of The Hobbit it's written so well. Keep going I can't wait for the outcome of all this and to find out what else Bilbo brought so mysteriously home! Hugs The Imp Author Reply: I'm so very glad you liked it! I msut admit, I read The Hobbit years before I'd meet LOTR, and my first love will always belong to The Hobbit characters. The mystery will be revealed within the next couple of chapters, I promise! Thanks for taking the time to review. It really means a lot to me to get feedback, especially as I'm just a novice when it comes to write about Hobbits. | |

| Utterly hobbity! I love the happy reunion with some of his kin, and the huffiness and suspicion of the rest! And I love the forceful glint in Bilbo's eye. I have a feeling that he will not be very easily pushed around! It's quite fun to see that Dora's mother is so "proper", and I like the idea of using Frodo's description for Drogo's looks! A very fun notion! I look forward to seeing just what's going to occur, and I wonder what proof Bilbo can give if many of the hobbits try to say he's an imposter! Now that's a complication I had not anticipated! Author Reply: Well, Dora had to get her sense for decorum from someone, hadn't she? And I must admit I was in some pain to imagine Drogo's looks... until the idea of using book!Frodo's description occurred to me. They had a great deal of Fallohide blood in them, after all. Oh, yes, Bilbo will have to fight for what's rightfully his. But fear not for him, he has old Missus Crabtree on his side, and an old Gammer is sometimes more frightening than a whole army. *g* | |

| It's good to see an update of this story! Bilbo returned at the last moment, didn't he? And the hobbits may be in for another surprise when Bilbo begins to show them what he's learnt. I like his dangerous glint in the eye! Author Reply: Yes, I had a hard time with this one. The first part was easily written, but I agonized over Bilbo's grand entree for quite some time. And no, the SBs haven't seen anything yet. This is a very different Bilbo than the one they used to know. | |
