"Here you are, Mr. Frodo." Rosie smiled as she held out a slice of bread, redolent and warmly fresh. In her other hand she held a piece of honeycomb, drizzling gold across the bread, and though her cheeks were flaring like the dawn she kept her gaze up. Frodo looked across the tray at the ruddy-cheeked lass taking tea with him, and thought intently of sweeping the table clear and pulling her across it.

He didn't, of course; it would have made a frightful mess. Instead, he reached, not for the slice of bread, but for Rosie's honey-dripping hand; capturing her wrist, he made himself ignore her little gasp and parting lips to lick the honeycomb from her fingers and suck two into his mouth.

The slice of bread fell honey-side-down, of course, but as it landed on the tray and they on the carpet, it all came out better than well.
