| Sharky's arrival seems so normal but you show us his malice so well. He knows nothing of the true value of pity. Author Reply: No, no he doesn't. He resents it, because of his mistaken belief that to accept pity means that the one offering it considers himself superior. It's the mistaken belief many have who will not accept Pity or Charity, believing that to do so somehow diminishes them. But he is responsible for his own diminishment, and is now simply wallowing in malice. | |

| Hmm...more shades of the Scottish Play and I could definitely see this being filmed. Nicely done. Author Reply: Yes, the theme of the need to scrub away guilt and justify murder certainly fits here! I'm glad you liked it! | |

| I loved the reluctance to let the stone go by Bard and the amazement at Bilbo. Author Reply: Re-reading the chapter as I worked on this, Bard did seem very drawn to the Stone, and he was rather gruff with Bilbo on his first approach. I liked showing him as he re-thought his first impression. | |

| Too well I can see this happening. Alas for the suppression of the Hobbit within Gollum. Author Reply: I definitely see that Gollum was born out of Smeagol's need to suppress his own guilt. I can easily think that setting out to kill his conscience was a long and painful process. | |

| How he must resent being in a room prepared for his perceived rival and replacement, and how he must look forward to defacing this home as he can, seeking to hurt both the White Rider and the Ringbearer for his own losses. never mind those losses were due to his own mistakes. Author Reply: I think at this point he resents anything at all that has anything to do with Gandalf. His arrogance was never tempered, and he never showed any signs of regret for anything he'd done-- and of course, he was NEVER to blame for ANYTHING; it all had to be someone else's fault! | |

| And you know how this has moved me! Thank you for this one! Author Reply: And thank you for your kind words! It's rare that I write something with no hobbits. | |

| And thus is born the Heart of the Mountain indeed! Well imagined! Author Reply: Thanks! Like you, I occasionally like to write a "how-done-it" gapfiller! I'm glad you liked it. | |
