Reading this chapter shows to me the amount of attention I give to the hobbits whilst reading the books. It is to these creatures I really invest my time and thoughts to. I seem to love them like sons. The pride I feel when they are honoured or praised brings
tears to my eyes. When Eoywn awakes, one of the first things she states is
Quote:

And what of the king's esquire, the Halfling? Éomer, you shall make him a knight of the Riddermark, for he is valiant!
|
The pride I feel for Merry here is emmense. Also, when Gandalf earlier mentions to Pippin
Quote:
|
He should have been borne in honour into this city' he said. 'He has well repaid my trust; for if Elrond had not yielded to me, neither of you would have set out; and then far more grievous would the evils of this day have been.'
|
again, this is a very emotional point for me, along with the pang of sorrow I feel for Merry when he asks Pippin
Quote:
|
'Are you going to bury me?'
