Very good point about the importance of pity,
Fordim !

"No message" in LotR , huh ? Well, for me this
is certainly a message!
I also agree very muchwith
Davem's remarks about "Mad Baggins"!
There seems nothing left for me to say, except that I'm a bit puzzled by a small detail at the end of the chapter:
Sam says "Lor bless you, Mr Gandalf, sir!" and "Lor bless me, sir" . How does that expression fit into Middle-earth ? Just another anachronism like clocks, postoffices etc.? Otherwise Hobbits don't seem to have any religion at all!
