did Merry have a son?

[Daisy Brambleburr]

Sam says he felt like she offered him a hole and garden of his own, then merry says "that's funny, I felt almost the same way, only ... well I won't say anymore." Maybe that is only my romatic nature - but I ALWAYS understood that to mean someone was waiting for him back in the Shire.

That is a nice, and interesting thought. I wonder what he was thinking?

And I agree with you about Merry being somewhat over looked. Quite sad, because I like his character. A humorus and funny hobbit, cheerful, but you get the feeling that he is quite thoughtful in the inside, and a bit more shy than Pippin. You get my drift!

Anyway, I like that idea, Samwise.
