That’s another fire we can’t have, Strider says, and Pippin’s not the only one was hoping for another hot meal before we went on. The cold’s got into my bones this past fortnight, what with all the walking we’ve done. Bless me if I haven’t started to creak when I move. I can feel the Gaffer’s aches in my fingers and knees, and I was hoping not to have that parcel in my pack for a good many years yet.
Still, the sun is out, and if it ain’t too warm, it’s bright enough. It’ll do. It will have to.

Who else would even think about Sam's fear of enduring the same malady like his father? That's marvelous.

The swish of the pony's tail and the occasional movements of his feet became loud noises. Sam could hear his own joints creaking, if he stirred." -- The Ring Goes South
