    Good old Samwise, a real salt of the earth fellow.

        I wrote the first sentence, then remembered the poems Tolkein wrote about Tom Bombadil.

        Tom Bombadil was a merry old fellow

        his jacket was blue and hit boots were yellow

        (not verbatim, from memory)

        Well, I’m talking about Sam and he’s a hobbit, he doesn’t even wear boots. It was mostly just weird silly connections in my head after writing down the first sentence fairly seriously. I had just happened to end the sentence with “fellow” and then couldn’t help myself.
