| Oh, that last line rings so true! I used to have difficulty imagining Sam in Bag End, all that can be reminders of Frodo Baggins there yet without him, and without him there for Sam to take care of. You have Sam's voice, you have Rosie's and Frodo's voice. What a gift to speak out their minds like you were once in their head, or the other way around! Magnificent story! Author Reply: Thanks, A! Elbereth! Hard to imagine Sam, apart from Frodo's influence, isn't it? I've read that one of Tolkien's favorite themes was the "enoblement" of ordinary people -- if Frodo was enobled by the Quest (even though he came out so wounded), Sam was changed in some similar way, by his unselfish love for Frodo. jo | |
