" Hobbits always so polite, yes! O nice hobbits! Smeagol brings them up secret ways that nobody else could find. Tired he is, thirsty he is, yes thirsty; and he guides them and he searches for paths, and they saw sneak, sneak. Very nice friends, O yes my precious, very nice." Sam felt a little remorseful, but not yet trustful." Sorry," he said. " I'm sorry, but you startled me out of my sleep. And I shouldn't have been sleeping, and that made me sharp. But Mr. Frodo, he's that tired, I asked him to have a wink; and well, that's how it is. Sorry. But where HAVE you been to?" " Sneaking," said Gollum, and the green glint did not leave his eyes...." Hullo, Smeagol!" Frodo said. " Found any food? Have you had any rest?" " No food, no rest, nothing for Smeagol," said Gollum. " He's a sneak." " Don't take names to yourself, Smeagol," Frodo said. " It's unwise, whether they are true or false." " Smeagol has to take what's given to him," answered Gollum. " He was given that name by kind Master Samwise, the hobbit that knows so much. "
