A drabble for my sister
Apr. 22nd, 2005 10:24 pmOne of my sisters requested this drabble and it was a bit problematical. The request was for an original character or characters to have an interaction with Sam and Frodo. Unfortunately, I don't already have many previously established OCs. So I had to create one. This is the result. Set in the summer of 1418.
Eavesdropping
Hob Highbanks lay back in the grass, listening to the nearby conversation intently.
“It just don’t seem right, Mr. Frodo, not telling the Gaffer an’ all,” Samwise Gamgee said.
“I know how difficult it is,” Frodo replied in a low voice, “but you can’t tell anyone, Sam. You must promise me this.”
“Oh, I promise, never you fear.”
Sam continued talking but his voice became inaudible as the pair moved out of Hob’s range.
Hob sat up, mulling over Sam’s words, intrigued. Something was afoot and he was determined to keep his ears perked until he knew what it was.
