That's lovely! I like to imagine that this was a very happy marriage.

Author Reply: I'm certain it was, Shirebound. Thank you!

Once again, well done!

I do love Bungo's pride in the new smial! And the thought that his father-in-law-to-be provided the funding...I've seen that before, it was in another of your stories, was it not? I think it's a wonderful idea! Clever Old Took, can't get much past him. :)

Kaylee!

Author Reply: And thank you for all, Kaylee! As for Gerontius having provided the funding, I was working there right from "The Hobbit," where it indicates that the smial was in part built using her money. No, can't get much past old Gerontius! Heh!

Hello Larner,

sweet drabbles! Particularly the second one. Bag End is a clear, and magnificent testimonial to Bungo's love for Belladonna. But not only to their love - to the love that all its future Masters would show either their adopted sons, beloved gardeners, or many (many) children.

Thank you for this,

M :)

BtW: Thank you very much for nominating 'Wrath of Light' for a MEFA. The fact that the great Larner herself thinks it fit enough for consideration will be more than enough to keep me happy, whether or not it wins!

Author Reply: Bag End as a symbol of the love held by its Masters for those they cared for most deeply--what a wonderful testament to its greatness! Thank you so!

And it's my pleasure! You have me blushing!
