LotR -- Book 1 - Chapter 02 - The Shadow of the Past

[mark12_30]

"And that's when I choked, which you heard, seemingly."

Am I the only one who, at this line, falls in love with Sam all over again? To me this expression of devotion (for his boss!) is just amazing. The rest of his devotion throughout the quest is packed into this one little line. Incredible demonstration of genuine virtue.


Another favorite:

"Me go and see the elves and all! Hooray!" And then he burst into tears.

Don't you love him for that?
