...the quote that endeared me to C7A the moment as I saw it, and kept me chuckling for quite some time thereafter.

Procrastination.... Isn't it the nature of testing that each test increases in difficulty? And if you're slow out of the gate on the first one, it tends to echo later. Other noted occasions for Frodo's procrastination: Amon Hen, and The Black Gate.

Also-- I'm reminded of what Sam says at Amon Hen about Frodo's fear: "Of course, he's had some schooling since then, or he'd just fling the ring into the river and bolt." Endearing; both that Frodo is afraid, and that Sam quietly understands his fear without losing respect for him.
