"Mister Frodo?"
"Hm?"
"Which one of them stars d'you think the elves like best?"
"They're elves, Sam. They love all the stars."
"Well, yeah.. I just thought, you know. Maybe there's one they like most of all."
"..."
"..."
"I think it's called Earendil."
"What?"
"The star."
"Oh."
"It was in one of Bilbo's books, I think. Their brightest star."
"..that one?"
"I don't think so. Perhaps it's that one."
"I can't see it."
"Maybe you're looking the wrong way-- Sam, don't move."
"Mister Frodo?"
"Hang on, just.. stay right.."
"OW! What was that for?"
"There was a spider on your shoulder."
"Spider?"
"Spider."
"..."
"..."
"That one?"
"That one isn't really bright."
"Well, I can't find a really bright one. Maybe it's only elves can see it."
"Or perhaps there's a cloud tonight."
"Or that."
"..."
"Did they name any other stars?"
"A few, probably."
"We're lookin' at this all wrong, then. We like as not saw a whole bunch of elvish stars out there. Just not the one."
"Heh. You're right. --perhaps I'll ask Bilbo about it. He could likely find it."
"..."
"..."
"..d'you think we'll ever see some elves for real, like Mister Bilbo did?"
"We might someday, Sam. We might."
