Well, hobbits aren't fearless! Some of them may be tougher than men, but not all. The Gaffer just isn't the guy to mess around with (I mean, he named his son 'Stupid Gardener'). Frodo was afraid, Sam was afraid, and Merry probably was afraid at some point [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. It's jsut a matter of situation. If a hobbit lives in peace his/her entire life, they're going to get scared in an unfamiliar/war-like situation. I liked this chapter too (but I like all chapters). It's just so hobbit-ish. And hobbits rock.
