Per Mr. Greenbow:
[quote]Stacey, I can't believe you are letting Sam spend all your money, They must be very good seeds![QUOTE]
LOL--well, they were just your "garden variety" (pardon the pun, couldn't resist), but he was right, they WERE a good price (and a very SMALL fraction of the money I had, really. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

Nope. Nor is it a church building. Though people certianly do shun those, don't they? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sam had a natural mistrust of the inhabitants of other parts of the Shire; and also he was not disposed to be quick friends with anyone who had beaten his master, however long ago.

Starbreeze - d'oh. That's me, always taking the complicated way round and failing to notice the straight way just in front of me.

Samwise - string, or nothing!! Are you going to tell us the answer if nobody gets it after a few more days? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. And speaking of church buildings - happy Easter! (It's a few hours early, but I'm going to an Easter vigil in a bit so technically this should be OK).

And a very happy Easter to you, too, Kalimac!
Yes, if no one gets it after a few days, I'll tell you folks.
(I just can't believe my little brain thought up one to stump you guys, though... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] ).
Let's see, clue #2...
(which may or may not be a giveaway)
The folks who shun this usually do so on a Friday.

Sorry, Kalimac, no.
LOL, Rae--sorry. Yes, my name is Stacey. Talking back and forth between myself and my character was a habit I developed on another board...oddly enough, the character was Sam.

Sam: Character?? And what do you mean by that?

Clue #3: The answer has to do with some events that happened after ROTK ends....at least, I don't think think they happen 'til after ROTK ends...and I'm not going to spoil it and look, 'cause I'm only barely done with FOTR.
Quote:
"There must have been a mighty crowd of dwarves here at one time," said Sam; "and every one of them busier than badgers for five hundred years to make al this, and most in hard rock, too! What did they do it all for? They didn't live in these darksome holes, surely? "

Well, I'm never gonna get Samwise's riddle, so maybe it's time we had another .

What force and strength cannot get through
I with a gentle touch can do.
And many in the street would stand
were I not a friend at hand.

Stacey:LOL, Rae....I believe the term is "split personality".

Sam: Split? *looks at her* Miss Stacey, y' look 's whole 's anything to me..."

Stacey: *Well, at least he's a cute little thing...* [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] *I've got to be nice to him, too, 'cause we just read the part where he lost Bill and he got all weepy....* [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Quote:
Sam, clinging to Frodo's arm, collapsed on a step in the black darkness. "Poor old Bill!" he said in a choking voice, "Poor old Bill! Wolves and snakes! But the snakes were too much for him. I had to choose, Mr. Frodo. I had to come with you."

Oh, well. I'll tell you folks on Monday.

Sam stood sullenly by the pony and returned no answer. Bill, seeming to understand well what was going on, nuzzled up to him, putting his nose to Sam's ear. Sam burst into tears, and fumbled with the straps, unloading all the pony's packs and throwing them on the ground.

No, Rae, the second. The first time I read it, though, was roughly 19 years ago, and I'm finding I remember VERY little. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

We must be close to the same age. The first time I read it was 22 years ago.

Did you get your Sam statue you ordered?

LOL! Actually, as I read, I've written them down, and I have a file full of them. Your post led me to dig up that one. You can kind of tell how far I am in the book from my latest quote.
Quote:
"But you can't leave poor old Bill behind in this forsaken place, Mr. Gandalf!" cried Sam, angry and distressed. "I won't have it, and that's flat. After he has come so far and all! "
Well, I take that back. They're sort of mixed up, and some are off this board from places I haven't read to yet. Okay, scratch that.

.....and actually, I don't think I've ever used a highlighter in my Bible--at least, not my newer one. My thing is to mark little notes in the margins everywhere.

Raefindel, is the answer to yours a key?

Samwise, I was almost expecting you to tell me "the answer isn't a kettle boiling over" because I'm *really* trying to figure that one out and can't come up with anything that fits perfectly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I'll stick with "string, or nothing!"

And I'm starting to feel embarrassingly young; I first read LOTR 12 years ago, and I was still young enough then that my father was reading it aloud to me and two of my brothers for a bedtime story (well I remember when we finished the "Flight to the Ford" chapter where at the end Frodo sees the Nazgul starting across the ford and then collapses into unconsciousness. My dad then closed the book: "OK, time to go to sleep." We protested loudly until he consented to read the first page of the next chapter, so we could see that Frodo was not, in fact, captured by Ringwraiths).
