Another Moment of your Time  by Larner 508 Review(s)

Poor Sam. It seems that it is a rare hobbit that camps out for pleasure! Another small thing to make Frodo feel guilty. Me - I just wish Spring would spring enough to let me get the tent out!

Author Reply: It's one thing to camp out on soft forest ground in the summer when all is clean and fresh and comfortable; to do so in the depths of winter is quite different! And these didn't even have the comfort of a tent.

And I look forward to being able to sleep out as it grows warmer, also. Love to you and yours.

I can well imagine Frodo thinking that.

Author Reply: Yes, it is so like him, isn't it? Thanks so, Shirebound.

Simply beautiful, and somehow appropos to the season. Lovely images and sentiment; I would say it's your best poem/song ever. Happy Easter to you Larner.

Author Reply: Thank you so, although you know how much I love your poem on much the same subject. I've not read it in quite a while--I need to do so!

Frodo’s feelings towards spiders undoubtedly changed after the Quest. I too am relieved that his outburst was to preserve the beetle and not out of some derangement.

Author Reply: I do think that Frodo and Sam would have been less tolerant of hunting spiders they came across after the quest. Am so glad the tale left you relieved once you knew WHAT Frodo was doing.

Thanks so!

Of course, Sam would guess much of Frodo’s pending journey, but there was no way he could have guessed the true destination. I too think that Rose would be able to see Frodo’s light; she is as wise as her husband, truly his equal.


Author Reply: You have stated it so well, GamgeeFest. And Sam deserved someone as wise as he in the end. Thanks so!

Boromir dared to throw away mushrooms? In front of Frodo? Bet he never dared to that again! lol!
So this is what prompted Sam to write the song? Unfortunately, most of the family heads are only voting for it because that’s what their Thain, Master and Mayor want - oh, and that king bloke too. But as Sam said, a few did listen and are beginning to understand, and that’s a start.


Author Reply: It was a delight to write this one, I found. The poem started working on me last November; it was a joy to finish it and write this story to explain it.

Thanks so!

Getting what you want and growing up aren't always as you expected, especially when they come at such a price.

Author Reply: No matter how desirable it might be to be seen as an adult, it is still painful to lose a beloved parent or guardian! Thank you so!

Ah, at least Frodo didn't just attacking some hapless weed just because he didn't feel well. Though it must be very hard for him to even try and deal with all he has been through, so I certainly wouldn't blame him for it.

Author Reply: I, too, am glad he had a reason to do as he did. He deserved peace of mind and heart so!

Poor Frodo. It's probably good that he doesn't know what really lies in store for him ...

Author Reply: Oh, you are so right, Kitty! Foreknowledge here would have been a great cruelty, I suspect.

At least Rosie and Sam realised Frodo would leave and were forewarned to a certain extent, even if they didn't know yet how far he would go - and that there was really no return. But their trust in the Elves is heartening.

Author Reply: At least Sam knew in his heart that Frodo was right to leave, no matter how he wanted to keep him by himself. You are right there.
