| LOL to Sam trying to nod sagely! That's exactly something a kid would do, and it makes Sam all the more adorable and endearing. And then he goes and says that about Turin and Nienor (to which I agree, btw) and he completely misses the point of why they freaked out the way they did - again, exactly like a kid. So, Gandalf suspected even then what was in store for our lads? Sam's already beginning to show a flare for spying and I'm glad he hears those compliments about himself, even if he doesn't quite believe them. Author Reply: Yes, children and their understanding of what they hear and know and say and do are so often delightful, aren't they? So glad you appreciated that. I loved that description of "nodding sagely" when I first read it, and I could just see Sam responding similarly to it. Yes, I do think Gandalf would have realized here was a special pair, even if he weren't yet certain what they would be special for. As for Sam spying--well, he can't ALWAYS hide from his destiny as one intended to listen at windows as a prelude to the greatest of greatness for the ending of the age, can he? :-) | |
