Wonderful indeed to see Merry's POV at Bilbo's birthday party! We only get to see what trouble he's getting into with Pippin but he certainly would have been the type to wonder about dear Bilbo! You show him as the curious little hobbit that he is and I certainly can hear his voice in this.

Very cute. I like the way you've portrayed Merry, and yet again, I'm awed at how you can get so much character into so few words.

Great job once again, Nancy

Nifty! I'd completely forgotten that detail about Merry seeing Bilbo vanish earlier, and you've made excellent use of it. I especially like the bit about what a Brandybuck might feel makes him different from other hobbit families.

Brilliant! I love how you described Merry in this piece. Reading this I understood why Merry was so close to Pippin.

Certain advantages, indeedSmile smiley face
Nicely put, a clever peek into a moment that explained ever so much later on.

A nice little glimpse into an otherwise simple-seeming Hobbit.

Thank you for sharing.
