What interesting thoughts, Nar! Aragorn's words to Pippin upon giving back his leaf brooch are the first thing that occurred to me:
Quote:
Pippin: 'It was a wrench to let it go; but what else could I do?'
'Nothing else,' answered Aragorn. 'One who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters. You did rightly.'

Can't say it better than that. Pippin is lucky - he gets his treasure back. Sam doesn't, but he gets new pans back in the Shire, I'm sure. Only Frodo loses his 'precious' forever.
