| Ah, I'm so behind on reading this lovely story! I didn't realize till today that the last chapter I'd read was chapter nine! But I'm still reading it! And loving all of it. Poor Frodo, it seems as though the lies of the Ring are still with him. But his Sam does know the truth of it all. God bless, Ellie Author Reply: Hannon le, my dear! I am so glad you are enjoying it. Frodo is indeed still caught in the dark, while Sam even in his grief lives in the light. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Yes, the stubbornness of Bagginses and the sense of the Brandybucks and the feyness of the Tooks--Frodo needed all that and more; and again he sees only what he perceives as failure, not realizing it is the greatest courage shown these foul creatures in centuries. Author Reply: Throughout this, Sam sees the truth and Frodo sees only what his depression shows him and all his memories are colored through that, the poor dear. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I forgot to mention that the verbal jousting that Frodo has with the Nazgul is what makes this one of my favorite scenes in the book. Indeed great courage. | |

| Oh dear. Poor Frodo. How *can* he hate himself forr what *they* did to *him*? I especially love Sam's part here. And this is my favourite: "Oh, he’ll do that," Mr. Merry said with the utmost confidence. "Frodo can be the most stubborn of hobbits when he wants to be. Used to drive my parents and Bilbo and I daresay Sam here, to the edge of madness at times." Strider looked at me and smiled as I blushed, but it was true. How often have I thanked the Powers for that. :) :) God bless, Galadriel | |

| Two very different views of the same event. And I love the smile from Strider. | |
