This is a charming story, warm and gentle and full of understanding. I love that Bilbo took it so well and even offered Merry another chance at reading the book. And I especially like how detailed Merry's memories of the incident were. Very nice! :) | |

A wonderful story, Anso. You really filled in this missing part of the story beautifully. I love your adult and logical Merry, and how honest he and Bilbo are with each other. | |

This was absolutely marvelous all the way through. I'm so glad to see it finished. This is exactly the kind of conversation that I think not only could have happened during the stay in Rivendell, but *did* happen. Merry is basically too honorable *not* to have confessed all to Bilbo. And Bilbo is altogether too practical not to forgive him for it--lovely job, wonderful gap-filler! | |

Good story. I think Merry is such a clever hobbit. He would be the one to work all this out. Author Reply: Thank you! yes, he is cleber, and observant too I think. | |

This was really good! I really, really loved it--how Merry was so clever to discover the Ring, and how Bilbo is both shocked and delighted that he did, brilliant! Author Reply: Thank you! | |

Oh yay! I'm so glad to see this updated! (does a little happy dance!) I love the way Merry is telling Bilbo of how he found out about the Ring, and seeing both their thoughts on the matter. Can't wait to see the rest of Merry's tale!! Author Reply: Thank you! I`m glad you`re enjoying it. And yes, this story has been lying about for way too long. | |

I like how you're filling in the blanks for this part of the story. And now that you mention it, how *did* Merry get that peek at Bilbo's book? I'm curious to hear about that, too! Author Reply: Thank you! I`m glad you`re enjoying it. I think it is an interesting gap to fill, because Merry would tell Bilbo about this I think. And Merry reading Bilbo`s book? It`s coming soon. :) | |

This is great. I wonder how the conversation between Bilbo and Merry develops. (even though I know it was the Sackville-Bagginses that were his downfall :) I read your other stories too, and though I haven't reviewed them seperatly, I wanted to let yoy know I enjoyed them. Author Reply: I didn`t reply to this the first time around, but thanks! ;) | |

Oh, I like this! You don't come across many stories involving Bilbo and Merry! And it should be interesting to hear the tale of how Merry found out about the Ring in full. Please continue this soon! :) Author Reply: Merry does actually tell Frodo a little of what happened, and even his own reactions to it, but I thought it was an idea to have Merry tell Bilbo about it. Thanks for liking my story and telling me so! | |
