So she does. I felt she was a particularly fitting choice for this chapter, where Gollum is on the brink of redemption - her performance brought out Sméagol's loneliness, his longing for company and his budding affection for Frodo as well as Gollum's hidden sneaky-creepiness very well.

Agan was very convincing too, both as a scary Barrow-wight and as exhausted, ring-weary Frodo offset nicely by Esty's happy-go-lucky Sam.

I very much enjoyed talking to both of you again - it's been a while since Finlandmoot. And having The Barrow-Wight (Himself) join our conversation spontaneously and be our audience was a unique experience - a bit like having the Prime Minister for dinner and a bit like sighting Nessie. I'd like to testify that he isn't anywhere near as scary as his Middle-earth namesake, but very friendly and pleasant to talk to. Thanks for attending, Mr. Wight, and for the kind words you found for our little project!
