Great article Rosa, thanks for sharing it. I, alas, was born into a different tradition, with different expectations than, well, a hobbit (in terms of the author's description). A great writer of my land once said, "Hunger, lest you pick your food off the floor. Go forth in loneliness, lest you pick your company with no discretion." That was an awful, hasty translation from Russian, but I'm sure you get my meaning. And by saying that I am in no way trying to imply that I want to marry a king. Kings be damned! I just want someone who will match me in wits and desires.
Hmm, now when did this turn into a "What Lush Wants" thread?
