In chapter 5, they take a long trip across the river and through the streets of Bucklebury the four hobbits finally make it to Frodo's house, Crickhollow. At home, baths have been prepared for the weary travelers. I love the idea of coming home (or to a new home) and having a warm bath ready. Then a big supper is prepared for the four hobbits. I wonder when Frodo will break the news to his friends that he and Sam must be leaving at first light tomorrow. While they are talking over dinner a hint is dropped that Pippin and Merry already know about Frodo's journey. At this Frodo does not agree and will not allow them to come with him and Sam. I think that his friends will go even if he sneaks off during the night. After a long while, Frodo is persuaded to let them come along. This is good because now not only Frodo and Sam will face danger alone.
A warm bath and hot supper? That's like a spa! Who wouldn't want to come home to that every day? I agree with you, Autumn. His friends are exceptionally loyal and would try to catch up to him. I think that maybe this is his true wealth.
Merry and Pippin are just going to wake up when they hear the garage door opening - d'OH!!! How are Sam and Frodo planning on getting around THAT???

ReplyDeleteGimme a bag of pork rinds and an episode of Honey Boo Boo in my trailer, and I'm good. Except that Sauron turned off my electricity. Jerk.
