| There was so much that I liked about this chapter, I cannot put it all into words. Mostly, I was *very* happy for Bilbo to have finally talked with Gimli! What an exciting place the forges sound. You show so well the sounds of tools and singing, the colors, the heat, Bilbo's perplexity at so many things with no name... I felt as awed. I like that Gandalf was mentioned. Poor Bilbo, feeling like an idiot. : ) "ever at your service, and your families'" - now that’s a premonition... loved it! So the suspects have been narrowed down to Urd; he doesn't sound like a pleasant fellow; I hope that they can investigate the jewels without getting into trouble... | |

| Forging ahead indeed. Urd sounds a disturbing fellow, and I hope they don't have any difficulty getting Bilbo in there. And Dain isn't being particularly royal, save as a royal pain in the patoot, I must say. | |

| I love the images of the forge - all those kind of red, glowing, sparking pictures - together with shadows and heat. And the contrast with Bilbo's memory of a dwarven forge that was cold and silent. Perhaps the dwarves should bear in mind that Bilbo is a large part of the reason they have their mountain back. The idea of keeping a handy store of food so the apprentices don't waste away - very sensible. Bilbo and the spicy sausage made me grin. Didn't stop him eating though. Or insisting on finishing his lunch before the investigation could continue. Get the priorities straight, chaps! | |

| When I saw this update this morning, I was so excited! I had errands to run, and thought I'd print it out to read at lunchtime. Imagine my dismay when the printer ran out of ink halfway through! There is so much to love about this. I adore Bilbo's polite lying, and the way he secretly thinks about the Shire. And I loved this exchange with Gimli: "Yours also," responded Bilbo with a small bow. "Though I highly doubt any of my family shall ever be underfoot for you, I appreciate the thought." If Bilbo only knew! And I had to sputter when I saw this: "A good point. And I'm sure we will find something for you, if only among Bombur's leftovers." They exited the hall, Glóin waving at a couple dwarves as they went. "He has leftovers?" said Bilbo. "Another good point," agreed Glóin. Too funny! I hope to see another update soon! Wonderful! | |
