Nothing of Note  by Primsong 2 Review(s)
Kara's AuntyReviewed Chapter: 42 on 10/31/2008
Hello Primsong,

another packed seven chapters: Frodo, screaming Merry, Gamgees galore, Dwarves, travels, unexpected gifts and expected nasty pseudo-relatives! It's just all happening here!

I loved the scene between Bilbo and Bell Gamgee. Touching and poignant. It's a bit sad to think that as Bilbo plans his new life with Frodo, Bell's own life is ending. Frodo's arrival in Hobbiton has always marked the end of her life (for me anyway) and a great sadness for Sam and the remaining Gamgees.

I am so enjoying this story. It's like a stroll on a warm summer day with good company and an enormous picnic, followed by a pint in the pub on the way home and a soft, cosy bed. Just the best!

Brit tips (for your help and amusement): 'Snicker' for the US is 'snigger' for the UK, 'bangs' for the US is 'fringe' for the UK.

Keep up the great work (that's probably a moot point though as the story's finished and I know it's good all the way through).


Maureen :)

*Bagin*?
Dawdul, Twadul, Grumblin and Umlat?

You have a wicked sense of humor! 8-D I've suspected as much when I first met "Offal" and then there was "Egnog Banks". *chuckle*

Author Reply: Hee.... I still think Umlat is a quintessential Dwarf name...
