| Despite his wish for some adult advice, Bilbo mastered the situation perfectly well on his own. Very good! But poor Dora and Drogo. They are starving, that is obvious. And maybe that is the reason why Bilbo did not tell them a Tip and Tulip story, for those stories tend to be "loaded" with food. P.S.: That poem is indeed the perfect source for chapter titles! Author Reply: He is enough older than the younger ones to know he has to put on a show of outward calm for them. They are definitely hungry, and the truth is, so is Bilbo for that matter. They are eating far less than growing young hobbits are used to. Most hobbit stories do tend to have a lot about food in them, but one about a little lost sheep-- well, the only food there would be grass, LOL! And you are quite right about that poem. | |

| It's a terrible time, that long winter. But they will see it through! Author Reply: Yes, it most certainly is a terrible time for the Shire and everyone else in Eriador. But yes, they will see it through. | |

| Oh, I can't bear it when hobbits are hungry. I hope things do get better very soon. I want to hug Bilbo so hard. What a wonderful and special child. Author Reply: It's the Fell Winter. Things will be hard for a while. But the hobbits will take care of one another. He had to have been; he grew up into such a wonderful and special adult-- I want to show the foundations of that. I think that having to deal with the circumstances of the Fell Winter helped to awaken the compassion and kindness he was able to show later in his life. | |
