Aha! Caught up at last! Bob's proved to himself that he needs to take care of his barely healed body, and has to take it far more gently. A lovely look at the stable's inhabitantw, both equine and two-legged.

Hooray for Bob's return! Definitely a reason for celebration.

You've shown how Barliman Butterbur is the center of the town, and I am glad how he brought Bob and his family into the Pony while Bob recovers from his injuries. This accentuates his importance to Bree and the Bree-lands. Bless the dear Man.

Beautifully described. Bill is growing, and as he comes to love Violet more and more by the day, he still waits for HIS Sam. I am glad he has one to love while he awaits the return of the one who has given him his sense of self.

Bless Holm and his care for animals as well as for Men and Hobbits. And bless the dog who chose to chase his own owner out of town rather than worrying at the citizens of the town. I know he will be well treated and cared for from this time on. I am proud of him!

Alas for the death of the healer. May Salsify find comfort in the family's grief. And may the town find strength in their joint decision to guard against new attacks.

It is good that the Voices have returned to him. And now he will have a name for Tall Hat that is better than merely a comment on his garments. Heh!

Poor Bob. May he recover well. But now we know the reason he's not there at night when the Travellers return.

The last of the attack on Bree, apparently. Poor Mat and Rowly! Am so glad that Ferny and his fellows were chased out of town as much by the horses and ponies as by the inhabitants! Bill gave the horses and ponies excellent leadership.

I'm glad that Barliman wasn't seriously hurt. God bless them all.

These wastrels are in for a bad time for it, I expect. Bill is on it, after all!

To seek to bring a torch into a stall would be anything but wise. I hope he learns just how poorly he's judged Bill in quick-time. Heh!

OH, I love that this is Bob's own daughter and wife. Violet is a good name for the child. And Bob is an excellent caregiver for a wandering pony who is waiting for his own Hobbit to return to him.

I rejoice to know that Butterbur will not allow Bill Ferny to approach the pony. He does not need such affrontery, after all. And we know that Bill will be well treated in this stable.

Now, to await the return of the Hobbits.
