| We did stop and ask directions, and the fellow said he’d go one better and show us the way himself, though I wouldn’t trust him any further than I could paddle a boat We all badly need a wash, even Mr. Frodo. I know, you always say Ponies sweat, gardeners perspire, and gentlehobbits sort of glow but to tell the truth, even gentlehobbits can be in need of a bath sometimes, though it would never do to say so. Those were the parts that were funny to me just now, the first more. | |

| These letters are so much fun. My mum used to quote that saying at me too. I am glad that Sam got to use his rope. I always think that the stuff PJ has them using in the film is a trifle thin even for real elven rope. Author Reply: Yes, funny how those old sayings stick with us. That rope *did* look awfully thin. I should think it would be hard to get a grasp. Thanks! | |

| These are good fun, Lin :-) I like how he keeps talking about taters. I loved the barrow-wight - a fellow that stole the shirts off our backs! LOL I hope you finish out the trip :-) Author Reply: LOL, working on it. Also got Bill's trip to finish. Whew! | |

| This is so charming--I love it! My favorite line, which made me laugh out loud: "They badly need a good gardener here, but I don’t think the wages would suit." :D Author Reply: I do so love it when people quote their favourite lines! Thanks! | |

| *snerk* I do love Sam's style in this, LOL! The bit about asking directions was hysterical! Well, we do know Sam will get his look at an oliphaunt soon enough! Author Reply: LOL, ain't it the truth? | |

| Big Folk and Oliphaunts--and they'll soon have their fill of both! Untrustworthy fellow indeed. And needing baths. Yes. Good thing Hamfast can't read anyway, I think. Author Reply: LOL, I suppose he'd have to go down to the Ivy Bush and buy someone a beer in exchange for reading a letter to him. OTOH, considering the importance of gossip in the Shire, perhaps the reader would render the service for free! "Reunion", eh? I thought I'd read that, but don't recall the details. (Of course, if I didn't leave feedback, then I probably didn't read it!) Will have to look it up again. | |

| These letters are so dear! I especially love, " know, you always say Ponies sweat, gardeners perspire, and gentlehobbits sort of glow but to tell the truth, even gentlehobbits can be in need of a bath sometimes, though it would never do to say so." :) Author Reply: Yes, a sort of variation on a genteel saying my mom used to quote from *her* mom. *g* | |
