I think it should be noted that amidst the complaining about lack of meals, horrible travel conditions, and rotten accommodations, that when needed the stout hearts of the hobbits are in evidence. For examples, at Weathertop they face the Nazgul with swords drawn and at the fords they charge the Nazgul with torches. Facing the most powerful of the dark lords minions, one would think the soft, small hobbits may cower, but they are starting to show the mettle that Gandalf is the only one to have seen in them.

Yes! Our hobbits really come through in a pinch.
