| Those three were beautiful, Cuthalion! I think, Frodo was right, when he told Rosie, that her love rooted Sam in the Shire. Sam was able to live a life full of joy in his beloved Shire and to grow old happily - and all because of Rosie. She's a wonderful woman. When she died, Sam could part with the Shire without regret. I wished, that could have been true for Frodo, too. Author Reply: Thank you, Andrea! One of the biggest joys while writing Before I go to sleep was being able to follow the footsteps of a few of my favorite authors and to create a strong, believable, vivid Rosie. The are very few female characters in LOTR, and she is one of the most underestimated ones - not by Tolkien (who loved and honored her in letters and materials) but by many of his readers. I'm glad that you liked this Trio of tales! | |

| The embodied conscience! What a wonderful image! And knowing it will all blow over so quickly! As for memories of feasts before love--I love it. These three are superb, Cuthalion. Author Reply: Thank you *blushes*. They were written for rabidsamfan, the probably best Sam-writer I know, and it was a joy to play with her favorite toy! And I love both, Sam and Rosie, but perhaps I love Rosie a little bit more - she is one of the most underestimated characters in LOTR, and she is such a delighful, deft, clever and loving woman. I'm very glad that you liked my Trio as much as I do! | |
