| Bilbo is VERY wise here. Author Reply: His wisdom has been tempered by exposure to the outer world and an acceptance of his own ability to be foolish, I think. And now he appreciates the thinking of Hamfast, who has his own ideas as to how society should be ordered. | |

| (And G is for GamgeeFest! ...Coming up with all the hobbity authors I can to associate with these letters? Who, me? *innocent look* Well, it's for Gamgee, at any rate!) Anyway, I loved the term "grammar-shirriff", but I felt sorry for poor Sam - Bilbo's right. The Gaffer (another G!) would probably feel Sam was getting above himself. As I used to hear my teachers tell my classmates frequently, "'Ain't' ain't a word!" (I never used it, so I had a good, private laugh to myself over the irony of the statement after class...)

| “That’s quite enough of you trying to be the grammar-shiriff,” the older Hobbit said. Grammar-shirriff, that's funny :-) From what I have read so far it is clear that Frodo gets the best education possible from Bilbo. And it is universal as well as unique! I'm looking forward to reading more! | |
