"Well, Mr Frodo, is it working"

"Oh yes, I believe it is Sam"

"The book said that rubbing in a clockwise direction should aid in its growth. And it also said something about thumbs as well"

"Oh Sam, keep going and use your thumb if you want to, yes yes ..... yes!"

Frodo collapses limp onto Sam's chest and nuzzles into him failing to suppress a giggle. "I love it when you misread the instructions, especially when I'm on the receiving end of it."

"I'd better get back to work now, sir. I was trying to do the spring cleaning before I was waylaid. You'll need to strip that bed and give me the sheets – they'll definitely need some clockwise scrubbing."
