| Hello Larner, how very sweet! Nice to have a Sam/Bilbo scene where the elder Baggins teaches the lad next door something other than his letters. M;) Author Reply: I suspect that Sam learned a fair amount from Bilbo, really. Thanks so for the review. | |

| Ah--never really did think of where Sam would have learned his fire-making skills, if he wasn't intended to have a job that would take him anywhere. This explanation makes sense. Author Reply: I'm glad you find it makes sense. But he had to have learned somewhere how to make a fire. | |

| Dear Bilbo - he can't have known back then how very useful and important this lesson would be for Sam so many years later! Author Reply: It's possible he might have had an inkling, of course; but mostly I think he would have just learned that such skills were indeed useful, and one he picked up himself because he had to during his journey with the Dwarves. | |

| I liked the little bit of humor in this. I also liked how wrote in a way that really felt like Bilbo talking too. This was fun to read. :-) Author Reply: I'm so glad you like it. And to know you think I managed to be true to Bilbo's voice is a blessing! Thank you! I think I'll probably put these on LJ, but will do it a week at a time so as not to have a bunch of little posts floating around. | |

| The folks on the game show "Suvivor" most likely wish they had a lesson on making fires from Bilbo. I myself just like to tote arround a ranger or two to take care of the small stuff, like that. Author Reply: Oh, I agree, Grumpy. I'll put my dibs on Aragorn, of course! Although Sam would definitely do well, too. Thanks so! | |

| Oh I just love this! I'm sure Sam wasn't the only one who was thankful, on this journey, for the Gaffer's teaching! Author Reply: I'm certain you are right, Agape! Yes, all would be glad for the learning Sam took upon himself when he was younger! | |

| Oh yes, he would, wouldn't he, as he found himself the glue that held the thing together in the end...at least part of it. I just love your title for this collection, by the way. That really did take maybe twenty seconds to read. Author Reply: How wonderful to hear from you, my Lady! Yes, our Sam did more than his duty to see all done properly! Thank you! And am glad you like the title--I'll try to keep these drabbles, so no one should feel reluctant to read them. | |

| Yes, many reasons to bless the bond between those three hobbits so closely knit together. Very nice. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Oh, how true, Antane! Bilbo must have made such a good teacher! | |
