Alas, the pattern is broken in chapter 6 (as it had to be at some point, or we'd have quite an army by the end).

Indeed, after six, that would be dicey indeed.
Okay, okay. sorry. I shall finish the chapter and return in more appropriate form, but I am not quite sure just what the great value is of this chapter. The bathtime hijinks reminded me of
davem's observations about the writing process for earlier chapters and the silliness over upper stories.
For now, speaking of the poems as
Estelyn does, I wanted to comment on Pippin's cavalier comment, "Oh, that was poetry," to Frodo. There really are a remarkable number of comments to the literariness of things here.
