I can see how the pressure of now being the Thain is starting to affect the family negatively.
Thanks,
atealgirl

Author Reply: Yes indeed, it was a lot of pressure!

Thank you for reviewing!

This is a very cute story. The mention of Trotter as a possible nickname for Hildifons made me think of how Tolkien at one point had the Aragorn character be a hobbit named Trotter. I also pictured a little three-year-old Aragorn toddling around Rivendell. Loved Gandalf getting a wee hobbit stuck in his beard.
Thanks,
atealgirl

Author Reply: Yes, good catch - that was a deliberate reference. It is also a reference to Dreamflower's story "Trotter", in which Hildifons ends up becoming a hobbit Ranger after leaving the Shire. I do hope you'll read her story, if you like Hildifons! :)

Thank you for your review!

Oh, how far indeed?

A lovely dozen ficlets. Thanks so for each of them!

Oh, I agree! Definitely twelve should be enough!

Author Reply: Definitely enough! More than, my own mum would say, I'm sure!

Ah, the squabbles of small children! Heh!

Author Reply: Heh! I know, right? I'm sure even hobbit children weren't immune to squabbling!

Lovely that she planted her name-flower on her lost brother's grave.

Author Reply: Yes, I think so too! Thanks so, Larner!

Oh, yes, this child will one day have a special child of her own!

Author Reply: Yes, indeed she will!

Not exactly fair, to punish the eldest for Bard's choice.

Author Reply: It really isn't. But Bard was spoiled terribly due to his coveted position in the family. *sigh*

Oh, what an introduction to Gandalf the Grey! Climbing the Wizard's beard is quite the feat!

Author Reply: LOL! It is, isn't it? He's quite the adventurous lad!

Oh, but this is cute! And do the ducks get to go back to the Tooklands with little Ducky?

Author Reply: Yes, they most certainly do! I'm so glad you liked it!
