    Summary

    Then he would turn around, pointing the finger of his left hand to the farthest of departing ships. And the children would cling even so closer to him, attempting with their whole might to spot something out in the depths.

    "Back there, on the other side of the shore, lies the Shire," his very way of talk took the mannerism of a storyteller, softened, smoothed out, "And in the Shire, there is a hobbit hole, the one alike all of the other holes my people live in. And near that hobbit hole, a garden blooms. A beautiful garden, with flowers of yellow and blue and green. The most beautiful of gardens, it is, worth looking back for."

    "Did you love the garden?" a little girl asked once, nearly jumping over the balcony. The questions they asked after were nonetheless different, futile to foresee. They were curious about the Shire, and the hobbits, and everything concerning Middle-earth, with frankly few exceptions.

    The last time, however, it was precisely this one. Did Frodo love the garden?

    Or: Frodo Baggins gets a rather unusual habit of watching the sea from the balcony every morning. No one can find out why.

    Summary

    Sam had always thought of himself as a very open-minded hobbit - but it could be that there was a difference between knowing that Mister Frodo did things, things certain other hobbits might say were unnatural, in his bedchamber, and seeing him there in his nightshirt with another lad’s hands all over him. In which Sam walks in on Frodo in a compromising position and comes to a realisation (eventually).

    Summary

    It's not so much a game as a very confusing yet highly efficient way of getting absolutely smashed. In which a party gets out of hand, Frodo gets drunk, Merry is a wicked boy, Sam is befuddled, and the normal state of affairs is suspended.
