“ “Sleep then, Master! Lay your head in my lap.” And so Gollum found them hours later, when he returned, crawling and creeping down the path out if the gloom ahead. Sam sat propped against the stone, his head dropping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap lay Frodo’s head, drowned deep in sleep; upon his white forehead lay one of Sam’s brown hands, and the other lay softly on his master’s breast. Peace was in both their faces.”

Lord of the Rings- The Two Towers page 363:

Sam: And people will say: “Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring!” And they’ll say: “Yes! That’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was very brave, wasn’t he, dad?” “Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits, and that’s saying a lot.”

Frodo: It’s saying a lot too much. Why, Sam, to hear you somehow makes me as merry as if the story was already written. But you’ve left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the stouthearted. “I want to hear more about Sam, dad. Why didn’t they put in more of his talk, dad? That’s what I like, it makes me laugh. And Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam, would he, dad?”

“ Safe, if you lay close to me. I’d be dearly glad to see you have a sleep. I’d keep watch over you; and anyway, if you lay near, with my arm around you, no one could come pawing at you without your Sam knowing it...Sleep then, master! Lay your head in my lap.”

- Sam to Frodo, Lord of the Rings: Two Towers page 365
