Bethberry, Wild that you should ask that... I'm in the middle of writing about it now, and it makes my head spin sometimes. I think that Frodo must have felt that he was looking in a mirror of what-will-happen-to-me-if-this-thing-gets-the-better-of-me. He was looking at Gollum's past, and his own potential future, from the Emyn Muil all the way through Ithilien, I think. Creepy. But no wonder he felt pity for Gollum... there, but for the grace of God, go I... is that me?? I hope not...

Say, Bethberry, I've been wondering how you like The Old Forest. You even get away with climbing Old Man Willow. Is that 'cause you know all the right songs?
