Obviously the apology was accepted, and perhaps unnecessary. Of COURSE Bilbo would laugh! Dear old Hobbit!

Author Reply: I believe Merry would want to do the right thing, and Bilbo would of course put him right at ease. Thanks for reading! :)

teehee! Naughty Merry...nice of him to apologize, though. CUUTTE!

Author Reply: I think Merry would have felt guilty about it all these years so he would have felt it was his duty to apologize. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you :)

Oh this is wonderful. I am glad that Merry got to apologise! But... :( you finished a couple of sentences too soon. I want to know just which bit he got to read too......

Author Reply: Heeheehee, sorry about that harrowcat! I've had this story in mind for months now, and never could get it right (it was meant to be longer than a drabble plus). To be honest I like the mystery of not knowing what Merry read...but I would love to see other people's take on it too :)
Thanks for reading!

Aww, how sweet of Merry to apologize to Bilbo for sneaking a peek at the Red Book. I can just picture him getting all worried & Bilbo just laughing it off.
I'm in the throes of writing a multi-chaptered story that contains Merry's first glance at the Red Book--thank you for providing me with the kick I needed to continue writing with this little scene.

Author Reply: Yes, I definitely pictured Bilbo thinking it was hilarious that Merry was apologizing for something he did years and years ago. Your story sounds very interesting - I'd love to know what Merry read in the book (the rascal wouldn't tell me). I'm looking forward to your story. Thanks for stopping by and reading mine. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

That is so sweet! I'm glad he wasn't upset. Well done :)

Author Reply: I think Bilbo would have had a good sense of humor about it, especially after he realized that it was Merry's snooping that helping him for the Conspiracy to help Frodo. All would be forgiven :)
Glad you enjoyed, Pearl! Thanks!
