| Excellent tale. I love these stories that make something small and familiar into something large and new. They are often most illuminating and this no exceptin. I think you caught the rhythm and texture of the hobbits' speach very well. Not a false note. |

Thank-you. This had been my first attempt at writing a hobbit story, so I was quite concerned with getting the right "feel" for them. It's good to know that you think I got it right. 
I have always had a soft spot for Farmer Maggot - his character has a lot more depth than it might seem at first glance. This vignette was originally intended to be his POV, but his lovely wife kept whispering in my ear, so I had to give her the first go at it.  After she'd had her say though, he cooperated very nicely.
I have a couple of ideas for stories focused on their relationship - and possibly his forays into the Old Forest - but they're waiting on the back burner while I finish a research article I've been wrestling with. That, and RL.  Then, perhaps...
