| Those bulbs as I’ve transplanted, they’ll put down new roots, grow deep How lovely, Larner. Sam's plain hobbit sense is exactly what Frodo needed. And "transplanting" is so much more positive an image than "thinning". Lovely. Author Reply: Yes, I think Frodo needed that positive image. Thanks so much for the review. | |

| That was wonderful. I loved Frodo's thoughts about the plants and how sad the thinning had made him. Leave it to Sam to make Frodo see it all in its proper light. I also enjoyed the look back at little Frodo with his Uncle Bilbo. You should do this more often. Author Reply: Oh, I'll try, now and then, when the little plot bunnies slip up on me. Frodo as a child with his Uncle Bilbo must have been a wonderful thing. And I think Frodo's questions would have been harder to deal with than those of most children, for I doubt he'd have been easily fended off with a "just because" sort of answer. He'd have given the adults he met an intellectual workout, just trying to keep up with his curiosity. | |
