There must have been a bit of worry that Sam, having found for certain where it was his Master went and that the same grace was possibly granted to himself, might have chosen to go then. So glad she's picturing it much as it happened.
Author Reply: Oh, thank you, Larner! Except I didn't realize it could be read this way. I actually had in mind Rosie waiting for Sam to return after disappearing without notice the first time. I think, though I'm not sure, she had some idea where he was going the second time. But I always wondered what the hobbits' families thought they were up to when they disappeared without a word. |
