Sam walked down a lane. He'd had a busy morning touring a corner of the Shire finding which spots were most needful of having a beloved tree replaced with a sapling and a speck of Galadriel's dust.

A girl hobbit ran up to him.

“Are you all right?” she asked.

“I'm fine.”

“I've watched you all morning and you haven't stopped for a second breakfast. Aren't you hungry?”

“I got out of the habit.”

“That's no reason not to now.”

“And I should or I won't be a hobbit anymore?”

The girl nodded, gravely.

Amused, Sam ate his lunch early.

That's adorable! It paints a lovely picture of earnest innocence in the young hobbit.

Nice!
I really can see reintroducing second breakfast as a step in returning fully to the Shire...

Thank you!
