Just finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the umpteenth time. Once again I am left with the same impression: Don't mess with Rosie Cotton.
It also finally penetrated my thick skull that the one who goes "there and back again" is not Bilbo or Frodo. It's Sam! He says so right there in the last sentence, "Well, I'm back." Duh!
Hey! I always thought that line was awkward and unnecessary, but that makes perfect sense!
ReplyDeleteSigh... makes me want to read them again.
