What, me? I just said he wasn't a proper Hobbit... all that messing about with boats, and rivers, and that little murderous tendancy he has. All right, so the jelly donuts comment was uncalled for, and I retract it.
OT, I'm going to work on the Green Dragon thing this afternoon, and I won't be around until after 8 eastern to talk - class tonight. I'll try to leave the chapter at the Yahoo thread if you want to look at it later.
I just read the scene last night where Gollum returns quietly from getting the coneys while Sam is looking at Frodo. He peers over Sam to look at the sleeping Frodo, closes his eyes and turns away. That scene says so much about the creature Gollum. I hope they do it in the movie! I hope it's close to how I see it in my head. Just tears me up.
