Merry took another pull on his pint and watched Sam from across the Ivy Bush, wondering if Pippin were right about bringing him into the conspiracy. Frodo wouldn't raise a quizzical eyebrow at Sam's wanting to be up at Bag End all the time, it was true, but his face was an open book to anyone who knew him. Or his ears, rather, which were still bright pink after a casual hello from a pretty farmer lass.
But someone had to keep watch. At least if Sam were caught, his blushes wouldn't prove him a liar. Sam blushed for everything.
