For Eyes to See as Can  by Larner 1 Review(s)
GamgeeFestReviewed Chapter: 8 on 3/25/2006
I hate it when the weather can't make up it's mind. I usually avoid getting sick, but not everyone is so lucky. Poor Frodo and Bell. Having and recovering from such an illness is never fun, and it seems to be really holding onto Bell - the beginning of her final illness I suspect.

What lovely Yule gifts for everyone. I can't begin to imagine what wee!Sam's story must have been, but I like that Frodo also kept it through the years and took it with him to Valinor.

Author Reply: Their first truly personal gifts such as these would remain with the recipients to the end, I think.

There is no indication Bell was still living at the time the quest began, but I still would like to think Frodo had been able to know her for a time after he came to Bag End. But when the flu struck in such days it often killed or weakened so many.
