I don't remember this one, Lin. How tragic! Poor Hildibold! At least Frodo made him stop when all had given up!

Author Reply: Yes, Frodo kept him from having innocent blood on his conscience for the rest of his days. I love that description of Frodo at the Battle of Bywater.

Thanks!

Yes, the Hobbits of the Shire will find that the four travellers, even Frodo who did not draw his sword, are wiser about such things than any Hobbit would guess. And Frodo did right. The ruffians were cruel, but it's unfair to keep fighting and killing when the enemy has surrendered. I'm sure most of them were cowards, after all, obeying Saruman out of fear and not love.
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: And perhaps some of them were unnaturally swayed by Saruman's voice... Though I'm sure many were bullies, perhaps one or two were caught up in a web of words and couldn't get free. (Sad thought.)

Am so very glad that Frodo was there to help them keep from destroying their souls in their grief and fury.

Lovely, lovely first person examination of how the moment took them.

Author Reply: Am also very glad that Frodo was there, with his wisdom and pity to stay their hands.

Thanks for your thoughtful and thought-provoking comment.
