It struck me while revisiting the unabridged LOTR audiobook that the only part of Sam's adventures that his father would really appreciate and approve of would be the part where Frodo introduced Sam to Faramir, future steward of Gondor, as "Samwise son of Hamfast," and the Gaffer would probably be lunching off of that for the rest of his life.

#books #lord of the rings #lotr #jrr tolkien #sam gamgee #gaffer gamgee #faramir #at the beginning of the book it mentions how pleased the gaffer is #that bilbo always addresses him as “master hamfast”#and after the hobbits return at the end he tells sam he doesn't #“hold with wearing ironmongery whether it wears well or no”#not concerned with glory but the idea of a vip knowing his name would please him immensely i think #he would not be keen on the part where sam ran his mouth to faramir #but frodo would probably prudently omit that part
