This is thoroughly delightful. I love Boromir and Bilbo. Bilbo must have been such an oddity to him-- filled with humor, self-deprecating, and shrewd as all get-out! I wonder when it finally dawned on him that this elderly and seemingly comic person had actually outwitted a dragon? And this had me rolling: So: you wish to be educated about hobbits—and your first lesson is that you must start calling us that, we don’t go about calling you Doublings, you know— I once had Bilbo say something similar: "We don't go about calling you twice-as-tall-as-you-ought-to-be-lings!" I like yours better! Author Reply: I wondered who had said that line, and might have poached the concept, but it wasn't too hard to stretch it to "Doublings" from there. So thanks, and I hope you don't mind! Bilbo, especially when he gets sharp as a whip in his age, is a real hoot to write! | |

*VERY*BIG*GRIN!!!* Oh, I loved this! Marigold is such a flirt, but she's perfectly suited for Tom! And I love the title, too! *more grins* Author Reply: Thanks! Marigold knows she's got a very good thing here, and... well, if it does get Sam to move his feet a little faster, that's better for Rosie, isn't it? Right? | |
