| A wonderful story! I very much enjoy reading it. "Twelfty" is a funny word indeed. I liked Belladonna's explanation why it isn't used any more ;-) And I can very well imagine that Bilbo made mistakes on purpose to make Siggy feel better. It didn't work, though. But his father proved to be a very good teacher and found another way to solve the problem. | |

| What a wonderful childhood our Bilbo knew. At least he had friends, and he has the respect of his father. Author Reply: I think so! I am sure that Bungo and Belladonna were wonderful parents! And I am also sure he had friends, especially among his cousins. | |

| Ah, a nice long chapter! I enjoyed Bilbo the Future Poet niggling about rhymes, also his list of Important Bagginses. Very clever about "Bingen." I couldn't decide if that was an early form of Baggins or not, and never thought of Labingi. Two things, in case you have not found them yet: Chop's age relative to Bilbo is a literal blank, and the description of Otho's faults is odd indeed (the paragraph begins His mother laughed). Of course, odd is suitable for Otho.... Author Reply: *grin* I just could not resist allowing his Future Poet out for a little trial run, LOL! I may not have had the evolution of the name quite correct philologically speaking, but thought that such a name might eventually turn into "Baggins". Thanks for the shout-out! I thought I had put Chop's age in but clearly I forgot. And what happened with the description of Otho was my apparently only partially unsuccessful attempt to weed out one of my uses of "a bit". I try my best to get rid of that phrase, as my early stories are riddled with it. | |

| 'Twelfty' is my new favorite word. :) What a remarkably detailed and fascinating history. Your love for hobbits and their way of life shines through every story. Author Reply: *grin* It just seemed logical, after "eleventy", LOL! I do love hobbits SO much!!! <3 <3 <3 | |
