Five lies, one truth meme

[dreamflower]

rhapsody11 tagged me for the "Five Lies, One Truth" meme, with a twist--it should be about one of my muses. She picked Bilbo.

So, here are "five lies, one truth" about my Bilbo.


BILBO: Five lies, one truth

1. He sometimes wishes that he had never gone with the Dwarves. It complicated his life immeasurably.

2. He do not know as much Elvish as Frodo thinks he does.

3. Of all the students he had, the one who gave him the greatest joy to teach was Samwise. Even Frodo did not have the thirst and eagerness for knowledge that young Sam displayed, nor appreciated the learning so much.

4. He find Elves rather irritating and supercilious, and sometimes thinks Rivendell is boring.

5. Frodo does not realize that the only reason he adopted him was to thwart the Sackville-Bagginses. He was very glad later, for many other reasons.

6. Lobelia was rather a handsome lass in her youth. He thinks that if he had shown the proper interest in her, he could have helped to soften her abrasive nature. She might not have made a bad Mistress of Bag End, if he could have gotten to her young enough.
