and in his eyes this new King had too high an opinion of himself.

I do love the Gaffer's strong and logical view of things.

That's lovely, with such a bittersweet ending.

Thank you! It's my first drabble of the year.

Nice! A very gaffer-ish consideration on how the faraway events of the War of the Ring would have affected (or not) the folk of the Shire, while touching on the aftermath of the Quest in Frodo's life.

Thank you. I can't resist adding a touch of angst. :)

Very nice consideration of events from Gaffer's pov. I like the final line, both wistful and defensive.

[elwenlj]

The Gaffer is a bit set in his ways, I think. Thanks for reading.

That is how the Gaffer would feel about it, wouldn't he? Very Shire-ish.
But in the last line, you can quite feel his concern for Frodo coming through, despite his lack of interest in the honour shown to Frodo and Sam in Gondor.

Thanks. I like writing the various members of the Gamgee family.
