BAG END BEASTIES

Bell stomped upon a particularly large spider which, disturbed from the rafters by her sweeping brush, had been scurrying for safety beneath Mister Bilbo's dresser, the percussive sound drawing startled looks from Daisy and Sam Gamgee.

Their mother sniffed, as she swept up the remains of her hapless victim. “All them roof rafters and the like look pretty enough, but tis clear the Baggins family have always paid folk like us to clean 'em.”

Daisy and Sam smiled, returning to polishing the parlour window. Although Ma's opinions on 'good, plain, hobbit homes' was one oft expressed, she loved Bag End.

I can't imagine any hobbit not loving the wonderful hobbit hole that Master Bilbo built over time. So much to explore, so many little cubbies here and there. And yes, the occasional beastie. LOL

Beasties come with the territory in any home when you're spring cleaning. :D

Awww, gotta love grumbly, Baggins-loving Bell.

Bell's so wonderful, and I love her taking care of Bag End (along with Daisy and Sam!) Though I imagine the spiders don't think so...

[elwendell]

Lol. Bell is my alter ego and neither of us like spiders.

Poor spider! I love the image of Belle and her family looking after Bag End.

Bell is not fond of spiders...but she is fond of Bag End,and would have been chuffed to know that her youngest son ended up living there.
