This is a very nice peek into the mind of a character who doesn't get a chance to speak out very often. Well done!

Wonderful! This is really wonderful, Neu. I love the voice, and the mystery too Smile smiley face I also like what Gaffer says about Sam -- what the poor hobbit had to endure during the quest with Frodo (a terrible something, indeed), and how odd is now that Sam goes for a walk during dinner time (not very hobbit'ish, I should think Wink smiley face). Lovely tale, and a great challenge entry.

Nice, nice job with the voice, Neume! I'm sure it was hard to sustain, but you did it. It didn't feel forced o uneven at all. It felt like Gaffer was sitting right beside me and talkin. And then, at the end, to realise who he wa talking *to*... ahhh. I'd sniffle if I were the sniffling sort. Thank you for this. It was lovely.

Thanks! I didn't even know who he was talking to until some time last night. He's a sneaky old codger. Wink smiley face

Oh, wonderful! I love love love how you reserve who he is speaking to until the end, and the way you reveal it. And you've captured his mindset and quirks of thought and speech so well; his quiet observations, his puzzlement and careful reasoning, and his final resolution, all of them just perfect.
This was beautiful, and beautifully done. Thank you!
