Title: Simple Tastes



"It's not that I'm ungrateful, Mr Frodo..."

"Of course not, Sam. No one could ever accuse you of that."

"And they're just as nicely made as anyone could do, back in the Shire."

"Certainly as fine as anything that could be found there, yes."

"It's just that, well, I don't feel comfortable in them. They're too light, too soft, too fancy."

"Well, Sam, they are made of silk."

"But that's just it, Mr. Frodo. Silk's fine for gentlehobbits like you, and Mr. Merry and Mr Pippin. I'm just Samwise Gamgee. Couldn't they find just some plain cotton underpants for me?"

I've done my own take on Sam and the fancy clothes of the South, so it's a trope I love. What fun, and SO Sam!

Not a fashion plate is our Sam. Plain, simple, and most of all comfortable! I'm very like him in that regard.
