Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 18 on 1/2/2007
Oh, I forgot I hadn't finished this! I was missing a lot! All these are sooooo sweeeeeet!!! :) Poor Sam, to fall out of a tree! No wonder he'd never want to climb a tree again! That was always my fear when I was little and my brother dared me to climb to such and such a branch, in these little skinny sapling things!

So funny to hear Bilbo described as bouncy. LOL! I guess he is, in some ways. And I love the little friendly argument as to whether Sam can be compared to Bilbo as far as "nice-ness" (not a word, I know) goes.

Love the indoor adventures :), and that Ted does have a lot of nerve, mean thing. *gives him the glare* Unfortunately we learn later that Ted and Lotho made a very horribly effective team; where Lotho led, Ted followed. I can't bring myself to pity them.

Love the vocab lessons! Reminds me of what my grandma did for me when I was little. I used to be southern to the extreme LOL, and every time I went to her house she'd sit me down, give me something fun to do, and while I did it, she taught me new words and proper grammar and vocabulary. :)

I can really sympathize (empathize?) with Sam here. I love fussing over my dear ones, but when I get fussed over...I *hate* it! It's so *embarrassing*!

Also love the bit about Sam not wanting to leave the Shire unless he was with Frodo, and Frodo saying what adventures they had. They had no idea they really would, and it would be more than they could have imagined then.

And dear Sam, finally admitting how much he needs his Frodo. And Frodo must have been so torn, though he'd never tell either Sam or Merry so. So sweet of Merry to realise that it was important that Frodo be with Sam as well and let him go. And the end was absolutely priceless! Tell Eleon I said she did a perfectly marvelous job and brought tears to my eyes with it.

Again, you two did super, and this looks like it was tremendous fun. Now I want to do something like this...I think I might have to coax FB a lot first though, and maybe that's not such a good idea right now? :)
God bless,
Galadriel :)

I forgot to mention - you can't have it end here! Do another one with them taking care of each other, reading that book etc. :) And that was nice of Sam to say he hoped Merry would get better and for Merry to realize that Frodo should go back.

Author Reply: Lol! We were thinking of doing another scene at the end, but I don't know if we will, unless it's in a differnt story. We're already planning another story to write, and we're pretty excited about it! More Frodo and Sam stuff! *sighs and hugs hobbits*
God bless,
Ellie

Oh, Sam, how could you ever doubt? But it's good to have that bond affirmed. Remember this, you two - nothing can sever it no matter what distance physically separates you, your hearts will ever be united.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: A bond that will definately last a long time. I love how Eleon wrote this ending scene.
God bless,
Ellie

Sam waited to read the elvish story until Frodo came home. He couldn't possibly read it himself anyway, with all those tears of joy, contentedness, and overwhelming love blocking his sight.

"Sam! Mister Frodo's back!"


Yay! This leaves me with such a happy feeling.

Author Reply: *bounces* Eleon was so excited that every one liked her writing. She wrote this ending all by herself, and we were going to do another scene, but I liked this one too much! I like happy feelings!
God bless,
Ellie
