Sam:*runs over, falling on his knees before practically crashing into Mithidan, practically crying* Mister Mithidan, sir, whatever Tiny Rose has done, I apologize! I swear she'll be by my side the rest of the time we're here (if you allow us to stay, that is) I swear, sir, I swear! An' I'll shine yours an' th' BarrowWight's boots both fer th' rest of my life! er--well, you understand me, don't you, sir?.
Stacey: *Is silent, one because she probably couldn't get a word in edgewise with Sam blabbering, anyhow, and two because the last time she "opened her mouth" around Mithidan, she promptly stuck her foot in it by showing her LOTR ignorance. He
had been quite gracious about the whole thing, but she figures she'd better just keep quiet.
