Re: A new quote that might have been uttered ....

The quote sounds to me like Sam, when first crossing the Nimrodel upon slender elvish ropes, a trick tht not even his uncle Andy would've pulled. Rope-making had been in the Gamgee clan for generations: c.f. Hob Gammidge, Hobson Gamgee, Andwise Roper. Remember Sam's anxiety not to leave Lorien without some rope, as well as his anxiety not to leave the length behind by which they'd descended that height in the Emyn Muil, etc.
