Sharon,
Profuse thanks. As I read your lists, I was amazed that I had forgotten all those events.
Joking with his reflection, which always seemed bizarre to me, makes so much more sense now. It fits.
Maril brought up Frodo's sense of humor, which she points out lasted even in Cirith Ungol-- "Have you inquired about Inns along the way?" I'll be on the watch for that next time I reread the trilogy. I had started already, intending to meander leisurely through, but... I stopped to ponder something, I think at Bombadil's, and the bookmark has not moved. (I need a clone, I need a clone....)
...Perky, perky. I like it.
--Helen
