| ha ha ha I love the ending! There is one thing, though....I don't really understand why Bilbo put the empty books on the shelves. It seems a little pointless to me. Altogether a charming story and a great concept. | |

| This was such a delightful story! This is about as close to the truth of the two bachelors getting used to one another as anyone can get. Young Frodo not quite "feeling" the difference between being a guest and the young master of Bag End. For as much as I believe the Brandybucks did for others, they were also *served*, meaning, Frodo making these adjustments is certainly plausible. What this something close to the nine points of roguery that you mentioned? I can definitely see Bilbo throwing the wool over Frodo's head and having a joke at it. I felt like I was looking through a window at Brandy Hall and Bag End--another exquisite(sp?) example of your wonderful gift of painting a lovely picture with words. Thanks for sharing, Pearl! :-) Pippinfan | |
