That's my favorite chapter, too. (-: I love that Frodo is so loved that his friends are planning in secret to help him, and how they lift the burden off his shoulders, and that he is worthy of that love, and the banter between them. I don't think I've encountered any writer in any genre since who depicts loving friendships so well as Tolkien did in this text.
