| I'm betting it's Hodgie Sandyman who's found the knife. I wonder what kind of nasty thing he's thought up to do with it. The last line suggested to my son that he might actually throw it at Frodo, but that doesn't seem very likely. Probably he'll use it to get up some mischief, and have Frodo blamed for it. Of course, since Frodo lent it to his brother, perhaps Merry will get in trouble instead. Two other interesting things are going on in this chapter. The Gamgee boys, or at least Frodo, are beginning to be known as Gardeners. It always seemed a little strange to me that only one generation after Samwise Gamgee returns to the Shire as hero, his family changes its surname. Sam was known for a lot of things, including being seven times Mayor and being one of the Travellers. Was his tree-planting the only thing he was truly honored for in the Shire? Wouldn't surprise me too much, given the way Frodo was ignored. The other interesting thing is that others in the family are beginning to notice the absence of Faramir, if only in a vague way. Sam and Rosie are against Farry and Goldi's relationship. Frodo-lad is just an interfering busybody (OK, an overprotective brother). Will Goldi find some allies amongst other members of her family? Will they notice her sadness, or question her about Farry, or overhear a converstation? Could falling in love himself even cause Frodo-lad to have some sympathy? I think an old-fashioned conspiracy is in order. Could we bring a Brandybuck into it, just for old times sake? (One other thing I noticed. Merry laughs a lot. That's cute.) | |
