| LOL, every time Sam says "I member" it reminds me of George Lopez's comedy routine about how Mexicans tend to talk to each other: "Member?" "You member!" :D There was never any doubting Sam's loyalty to Frodo. From that first meeting, their fates were sealed. It's easily forgotten just how loyal Frodo is to Sam and you show that so simply here, with the way he helps Sam with the flowers while also making sure that Sam figures things out for himself. Author Reply: I do believe the loyalty was a two-way street between the two of them. Frodo's trust in Sam's own ability to figure out what's wrong would certainly help foster appreciation, for Frodo obviously appreciates Sam's intelligence and is willing to help him exercise it. As for "member"--glad it brings a chuckle. Leaving off or changing some prefixes is a common enough dialect feature. Glad you appear to appreciate it. | |

| I love the voices you've given the characters. I love Frodo's figuring out why the plants aren't thriving, and then helping Sam by letting him figure it out. BTW, read somewhere that the flowers Americans call "nasturtium" are called "nasturtian" in England. There is such a thing as a "nasturtium" but I forget what it is. | |
