Ewww!!! <P>Could be. The other thing to note is that Frodo doesn't appear to have Sting. In the book Frodo drops the sword when he is attacked from behind by Shelob, yet here he hasn't been attacked yet but doesn't have Sting. In a slight change, perhaps he passes Sting to Sam to hack through the webs. Or maybe Frodo has just squeezed through while Sam needs to expand the opening a smidge more for his slightly more ample frame.<P>Could this be only moments before the attack?<P>H.C.
