Indeed, Lyta... but I find myself wondering what Sam WOULD have done if Frodo had sent him away in a Ring-possessed fit. The only time that I can bring to mind that Sam **ever** outright disobeyed Frodo was on the riverbanks of the Anduin when Frodo told him to turn back, and Sam would not.If Frodo threatened Sam with Sting, and ordered him to go away, what would Sam do?Stand fast, ready to die before he would leave?Argue as best he could?Turn and go home?Pretended to leave, and then stalk Frodo from a distance hoping he'd change his mind?I tend to think the latter, from someplace early on when he said he'd follow Frodo, which I can't place right now (FotR, maybe). Other opinions?
