| This was absolutely delightful - and putting Sarador as the 'focal' point, the tie that binds everything together, worked really well. Though the butterflies themselves did very well too. LOL Great tale - ! Author Reply: Thank you. I am very fond of Saradoc for some strange reason and he makes his way into a lot of my hobbit stories. I wanted one person to see each of the four in this situation to tie it all together and I am very glad that I accomplished that. Thank you for noticing and for reviewing! | |

| Awww! This is beautiful, G.W.! You captured our four lads perfectly and painted wonderful images in my head, which I surely will remember! The one I liked best was little Pippin pretending to be a butterfly. And don't say you have no imagination of your own! This little story proves you completely wrong ;-) Author Reply: Thank you for the review and I am very glad that you enjoyed Pip's part of the story. I do think that he must have been very imaginative as a little one. | |

| As I read I was entranced. You have captured each of the four personalities beautifully. Author Reply: Why thank you. That is such a lovely review. I appreciate it very much. | |

| Oh, I love it! The little Hobbits are all so cute and their reactions are so perfect. Pippin's was my favorite, *grins*. God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. I got the idea for Frodo first and then the rest of this just turned up. | |

| A perfect picture of all four hobbits - Frodo enchanted by the beauty of the butterflies, Merry wanting to keep it for himself, Pip wanting to be a butterfly and dear Sam admiring them for pollinating the flowers. Each so typical of their character and absolutely delightful. Author Reply: Thank you! For some reason I could see Frodo so clearly with those butterflies and from that image I wound up with this story. | |

| Merry's reaction seems very symbolic of his later wish to hold on to Frodo - the butterfly who needs to be set free. While Pippin wants to be a butterfly - and Sam to understand one. Author Reply: You know, I hadn't thought of Merry's reaction in that way but it would certainly be true. He was trying to hold on both to the butterfly and to Frodo. I think you found a hidden meaning that was hidden even from me! A very good point and I thank you for mentioning it. Thanks so much for the review! | |

| Aaaawwww! Those were adorable! You captured each wee hobbit perfectly, even Sam. This will be a good exercise to help you feel more comfortable writing Sam, if you start with little snippets like this. :) And I love that these are from Saradoc's point of view. It's a good way to let the 'minor' characters have some play time. Author Reply: Oh, good! You liked Sam! I feel better now. You know I do worry about writing Sam and I think you're right. The practice will do me good. As to Saradoc, he and the Gaffer may be my favorite parents in the Shire. For some reason I am not at all afraid of writing the Gaffer. Wonder why? Thanks for the encouragement. At some point I may pick your brain about Sam for one or two of these little stories. (I will try to make that brain-picking operation as painless as possible.) hehehe | |

| This was so beautiful! How each wee lad sees and connects with not only the butterflies, but the world around him. Each reaction is spot-on with their characterisations. I enjoyed each and every take on the Fly-flies! ;-) Thank you for sharing your wonderful world of hobbits! Pippinfan Author Reply: Thank you for reading and for saying such lovely things. I do like to think about how the lads are different and how they are alike. I am hoping that will be what all of these little stories that I post here are about. Of course I could do a series on how butterflies react to differnt things. Nah, might not go over too well. LOL | |

| Oh this is delightful GW! The image of Pippin being a butterfly is utterly charming. Very much in his nature! Author Reply: I could see him running around pretending to fly and I am very glad you could see it too. Thanks so much for reveiwing and for reading! | |

| That was lovely! Such a nice way of stringing pictures together, with the common theme of butterflies, and yet such individual personalities emerge. I liked especially that you let us look through Saradoc's eyes at each of them. Thanks! Author Reply: Thank you! I am very pleased that you enjoyed this. I am forever happy when I can include Saradoc in a story. He is one of my favorite hobbits for some reason. Thanks for stopping by. Your kind words are much appreciated. | |
