M for Bilbo's Shire, A to Z

Master and Man

“Most unnatural, how your gardener’s lad has tied himself to young Frodo,” Lobelia sniffed.

Unnatural? Bilbo could see the look of concern growing in Dora’s eyes at the mere hint of impropriety

I like seeing Bilbo recognize Frodo's quality so young, and realize that those 'with eyes to see that can' would also recognize it.

I am so certain this is true, Shirebound. I suspect that Bilbo found Sam a kindred spirit in many ways. Thanks so!

Ack, Lobelia would be one to twist something beautiful into something ugly if she could. Good thing Bilbo knows better.

[blslarner]

But of course. Lobelia must see everything as evilly as she can, after all. Build herself up at the expense of everyone else.

Note to Lobelia: You are a mean and hateful old cow. Leave our sweet Samwise alone!

[blslarner]

I DO agree, Shelley. Add my name to your petition! Heh!

I read this and I grinned, that Sam was Frodo's man this early on.

[blslarner]

I do believe that to have been true, Someplacetobe! Thanks.

You're very welcome!
