Eleventy-one Years: Too Short a Time   by Dreamflower 5 Review(s)

What fun! I like Belladonna's Tookishness!

But Farmer Button remembered his talk with Squire Baggins. The harvest had been lean, and it was a long time 'till Spring. He sipped his ale and kept his own counsel.

I fear he will be right after all.

Author Reply: Yes, Belladonna's about as Tookish as they come!

Yes, he will...

Three cheers for Belladonna - someone who still knows how to have fun! Bilbo may not know it completely, but how blessed he is to have her. Love the Tookish of it all.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: I think he knows his mother is special and Tookish. I don't think he has any idea of how Tookish he is as well!

I wonder if memories of his Mother's determined Tookishness and his parents's embarassing public embrace were among the warm memories a cold,tired Hobbit used to cheer himself in the middle of his own great adventure years later? A cold day warmed by good food and loving friends and kin. I felt like I was right there!

Author Reply: I hope that they were! I hope that the memory of his parents' love was a great influence on him!

I am glad you enjoyed this!

I love reading about the warming and delicious foods hobbits eat, especially when it's cold outside.

And from Bilbo, whose face was flaming with embarrassment: "Mama!"

But a determined Took is a force to be reckoned with.


Truly! Good for her.

*grin* Me too! And writing about it as well, LOL!

Yes, good for her! She truly was the "remarkable Belladonna Took"!

And they have good precedent to be concerned, after all.

Author Reply: Yes, they do. Very good precedent indeed!
