Ooh, very interesting. I've never thought of what Bilbo was thinking when he left. I like it!
God bless,
Ellie

Author Reply: Thank you so much, Ellie :) Glad you enjoyed it!

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 20 on 8/17/2006
Yes, the Ring had possessed him for sixty-one years, and realizing it's gone at last would take a good deal of time.


Author Reply: Indeed it would. With the way he asks to see it again in Rivendell, I don't think he fully realized until he saw Frodo's horrified reaction what the Ring was all about, nor the hold it had had on he himself.

Thank you for reading and responding, Larner!

A lovely moment. Yay for Bilbo! He's a dear, isn't he?

Author Reply: Thank you, Armariel! Yes, he and the Gaffer were a good pair. Both liked to show a gruff exterior to hide the old softy within :-)

Baggins BabeReviewed Chapter: 20 on 8/11/2006
Bilbo must have been very strong-willed, to walk away and leave the Ring, even with Gandalf's help. It must have been strange and rather wonderful for him to feel free of that weight at last.

Author Reply: I'm thinking that he most likely didn't even connect the two things but would just think he was feeling good.

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Baggins Babe!

BodkinReviewed Chapter: 20 on 8/11/2006
It says a lot for Bilbo that he had the strength to walk away from it. Even with Gandalf's help.

It makes him unique, really. Hobbit power!



Author Reply: Yes, very unique indeed, and brave. To walk away from his old life, especially the Ring that he (I think) viewed as an old friend, was very brave.

Thank you for reading and responding, Bodkin :)

LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 20 on 8/10/2006
O very well done, indeed!

This is completely believable, and wouldn't you know that somehow Gandalf is keeping a mental "eye" on Bilbo, fond of the old hobbit as he is.

The Ring has passed on, and Bilbo is at last free...

Well, as free as he can be, poor old fellow.

MEWD!

Author Reply: Thank you most kindly, for your kind words :)I'm sure the Ring was not happy with Bilbo leaving and it staying put.

Thank you so much for reading and responding, Lin :)
