Orual has just left Hobbiton.

No worries, Airehiriel! There are plenty of Sam devotees to be found. And yes, I do happen to be one of them. ^_^ I love hobbits, and above all Sam. His loyalty, dedication, devotion, and love for Frodo touched me in a way that no other character in any other book had been able to.

why did frodo leave sam behind i would have smuggled him onto the ship! after all sam did for frodo he just left him behind!
Well, Shadow, I have to disagree with you there. Frodo didn't "smuggle" Sam aboard because Sam still had responsibilities in the Shire, and, as Bilbo said of Frodo in the movie, Sam was still in love with the Shire. They had saved the Shire, but Frodo had been too wounded by the Ring to be able to live in comfort anywhere in Middle-earth ever again. Sam was a different story. The quest had, of course, changed him greatly, but not in the same way that it changed Frodo. Besides, Sam had Rosie, Elanor, and twelve other children to come. He was the Mayor, and had the responsibilities thereof. So, despite the fact that in all likelihood any plot to smuggle Sam to the West would've been found out, Sam still had things to live for in the Shire. And besides, eventually Sam followed Frodo, after Rosie's death. So in the end, it turned out as happily ever after as it could, though I won't deny that I cried for hours after I finished Return of the King.
