| Awwwww, so sweet! Do you love the sea as much as Frodo does? Author Reply: I certainly do. Does it show? :) | |

| I love this so much - Frodo simply being Frodo, and Sam learning to swim. Lovely! Author Reply: Thank you. I love imagining moments like this, which show that their journey West was a fulfilling one. | |

| Oh, I love this. You addressed one of my puzzling questions about this notion of a peaceful heaven for the elves and whoever is allowed to go there, where everything seems to be provided for. What in all the world are they going to do? Opening a library with texts from ME is a great idea. Author Reply: What in all the world are they going to do? Thank you! And I'll be pursuing that question in a future chapter, I think. Glad you enjoyed this. :) | |

| And being someone who lives for libraries (and bookstores), I can totally agree with the last sentiment. LOL Lovely little vingnette, Shirebound. Love the deviousness of Lord Elrond. He is more than a healer of hröar but of fëar as well. I bet he purposely brought books written in Westron just so Bilbo could open his school. I suspect some of the elves who sailed with the Hobbits and know Westron will end up becoming teachers themselves with Bilbo as the headmaster and Frodo as the librarian asking the 'students' if they have a library card. LOL Looking forward to seeing these tales continue. Author Reply: Thank you, Fiondil. Healing takes place on many levels, and Elrond had a lot of time to contemplate this trip West and its consequences -- not just on the hobbits, but on the residents to whom these small folk would be quite unusual neighbors. | |

| LOVELY! I love old books, libraries and elves, so what a wonderful combination! I also appreciate that Elrond was thoughtful enough to allow Bilbo and Frodo to keep the books nearby, they need the attention. Thank you for this delightful scene. Author Reply: Thank you so much, Gershwhen. Aren't old books lovely? I hope future generations will continue to appreciate them. | |

| Perfect therapy for Frodo Baggins--giving him a library to guard and parcel out! Ah, how delightful! Author Reply: I think he and Bilbo could be quite content in a situation like this. :) | |

| “Doing your best is all anyone can do, ever in their lives,” Elrond said gently. “I see you are learning this most difficult of all lessons.” Wonderful! I'm glad that Frodo is finally learning that particular lesson :) And I would like to see Bilbo teaching the Elves Westron. That would be funny, indeed. Author Reply: I think that would be one of the biggest lessons for him. :) | |

| More, more, more! I've had to tear up my library ticket since discovering LOTR Fandom. The fines got too much! Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed this, harrowcat! :) | |
