| And another long-paused journey resumes! Hooray! You have done a lovely job of taking us back to where we left off. I decided that I had to go back and read the original again, just to pick up the thread. You have so many great images here. You have given each of the lasses their own personalities. My two favorite take away memories out of this are; the vision of an old, feeble Bilbo leaning on Lobelia's loving bosom (NOT! snerk,choke!) and, young Miss Pearl rising to the occasion after being called "my lady" and Bilbo realizing that Paladin must read tales of errantry to his daughters. That creates a vision in the mists of the future of a hobbit lad who grows up hearing, not only his father's tales, but Bilbo's and Frodo's. That hobbit lad will grow up with the courage to have his own adventure! Good Luck with your internet. |
