I don't post often about Hobbits (I haven't posted often in nearly four months, thank god for you people), but I couldn't help after reading LOTR for the fourteenth time that hobbits are unusually good at knowing peoples moods. Pippin can almost see the tension between Gandalf and Denethor (which may or may not have been obvious), Merry knew before Theoden that Eowyn (bold as she was) had been crying over Aragorn's fate in the Paths of the Dead. And let's not even begin about Frodo or Sam, both of whom are so intuitive they trusted Faramir from the beginning (nearly). Anyone else notice this?
