| Rosemary and Hally are so clever! And the way they plan ahead, you'd think they were Brandybucks! Love the idea of the little sacks! And Estella's dream reminds us all of the larger picture! Author Reply: Well, I suppose forest Bolgers, as they're not as well off as gentlehobbits, can't afford to be quite so carefree as Smials Tooks... They've had good preparation for this time. Thanks! | |

| It is too bad they must be leery of everything at this time. Now, to see the bounty properly shared with the neighbors! Love the way they seek to fool most of the ruffians, and appreciate the dream. Author Reply: I think they are mostly leery when they are not doing things "as usual" or when in the presence of ruffians, for fear of putting a foot wrong or letting on that they are more than the simple, jolly hobbits they appear to be. It's true, they have to disguise important things so that the children don't innocently blurt something incriminating, yet family life when the littlest hobbits are up and about is still fairly simple and jolly, by necessity, I'm thankful to say! Scar is not kindness personified--there's definite self-interest in his actions, but he is clever and observant, and he not only likes Rosemary's cooking, but he realises the Bolgers will inevitably share what they have with hobbits as well as (or maybe more than) wandering Men. If not for Rosemary's light hand at baking, he'd probably let the family go hungry without a twinge of conscience. *sigh* OTOH, maybe he has depths that *I* haven't even seen yet. You never know what a character's going to do, or so it seems sometimes. Thanks! | |
