| Makes perfect sense. So, did the table of the Tooks rival that of the Brandybucks? Author Reply: That I'm not certain, Lin. But I'd think that no matter how fine a table might be set in the Great Smials, with Lalia in charge undoubtedly most folks would still prefer to eat at Rory's rather than her own. | |

| And she certainly did! You say a lot in so few words... Author Reply: Hey--I appear to finally be able to write a drabble as well as a novel! Thanks so, Lindelea! | |

| Hello again Larner, dear, oh dear. What a bitter old lady she is. What a shame - she had all the means to be beloved, but squandered her energy instead on pettyness. And despite that, I still feel sorry for her ... M ;) Author Reply: That she did. And I, too, tend to feel sorry for the old thing! Heh! | |

| Hello Larner, I know I shouldn't like her because of her overbearing, controlling personality, but after reading this drabble, I feel quite sad for the lonely hobbit lady she was during life. *sniffle* Good work (as usual), M ;) Author Reply: I find I have mixed feelings for the old lady, actually. And it's nice to be able to breathe sympathetic life into even such a soul as Lalia Took. Thanks so! | |

| Hello Larner, what, no reviews for these stunning drabbles? What a crime! I really liked this glimpse into Lalia's inner thoughts. And fat or nay, her presence was certainly commanding! She was a bit of an old dragon in the end, wasn't she? Very enjoyable, M ;) Author Reply: That she was. I posted these first on the Tolkien Weekly LJ site, so have received a fair amount of reaction there. Just got the beta back from RiverOtter, so it's now posted here, too. Am so glad you appreciate it! As for Lalia--am so glad Tolkien breathed life into her in his Letters. She is a fun one to write about! | |
