You've wasted a year, I tell him. He keeps his peace, doesn't correct me.

Of course I know he didn't waste a year. But I don't want to understand the adventures he had, and the best way to do keep him from explaining is to play that I don't care. They're not mine to know, they're his and Master Frodo's.

Bag End's a good, solid place to grow a family, and I'm much thankful for the kindness shown. If Master Frodo can give me so much, I can offer that small part of my Sam for him and him alone.
