Galadriel looks at each member of the Fellowship in turn and afterwards it is revealed that she offered or feigned to offer each of them something that they greatly desired, and all they had to do was turn aside from the quest. Sam says what it was he was offered (to return to the Shire), but the others seem too embarassed to say what they were offered. What on earth did she offer them? If it was, as Sam, to return to their home, or to be granted great power, or to receive a powerful gift, then why on earth would they be embarassed to say so?
