| Wow, Lobelia is as strategic as a general planning a battle. Nicely written. Author Reply: So glad you agree with me as to her commitment to her goal. Thank you so, Shirebound! | |

| Larner, Lobelia should have known better, for we all know what came of this! So is this how Lotho was conceived? Kaylee Author Reply: No, it's not how Lotho was conceived--it was a different child who was born many years before Lotho and Frodo, and who didn't survive. Its tale is told earlier in this collection, in stories one and two. I'd originally thought for it to perhaps be Lotho, until I was reminded that Lotho wasn't that old. And, yes, Lobelia should have known better and undoubtedly did, but she was desperate to somehow marry into the Baggins family and its wealth and respectability--and the possibility that perhaps she might end up as the wife to the Baggins and as the Mistress of Bag End, as long as Bilbo wouldn't marry her and wasn't allowed to think of marrying anyone else! Thanks so very much! | |

| She has definitely not the least bit of love for Bilbo or Drogo or Otho. She is only interested in premises and titles and would marry anyone to get them! Poor Otho! He must have been thrown off his guard by that "nightly surprise". Author Reply: I suspect that she and Otho came to rely on their marriage, but that he fairly quickly realized there wasn't much in the way of true love in their union. And I suspect that he was a bit overwhelmed to find her appearing so ardent that first time they walked out together. It's rather fun to speculate how the two of them ended up married, after all! Thanks so very much, Andrea! | |

| Oh, the coniving witch (you can add a 'B' to that if you want!) Look what it got her in the end, talk about envy being one of the 10 deadly sins! Lynda Author Reply: Oh, yes, very much one intent on her own schemes, our Lobelia. Not exactly the most sympathetic of characters, is she? Heh! (And I understand how ones fingers go faster sometimes than our memories. Yes, there were only seven official ones.) Thanks so, Lynda. | |
