What a sweet glimpse into hobbit-life after the Quest, with our lads settled and happy as they should be. Two things struck me especially - that it never occurred to the hobbits just to pull the mint out and throw it away - it was food and had to be used. Second was the darling scene between the faunts, and how the little one went immediately to Pippin for protection. That merits a whole "Awwwww" on its own.
