Estelyn Telcontar , yes, I noticed that quote in the Chapter by Chapter discussions, one of my favorites as well. Correct, Merry and Pip were Frodo's best friends before they left Crickhollow (as I believe that is mentioned in the "Shadow of the Past.") One Friendship the Fellowship did create however was between Sam and Frodo. In the beginning chapters Sam was only a servant to Frodo, his Gardner, but their long journey together, Frodo then put Sam up with Merry and Pip as his best friends.
