Original "A Long Expected Party"

In the original version of "A Long Expected Party," Bilbo announces he is leaving and getting married. Tolkien messed around with the idea, and came up with him getting married and having a son, Bingo, and it's his party not Bilbo's. He then makes Bingo Bilbo's nephew that he adopted. It is still Bingo's party. Evidently he stuck to this idea, but liked the name Frodo, so he changed it.

Faramir

Faramir is the younger brother of Gondorian Fellowship member, Boromir. He is also the Captain of the Gondorian Rangers. Frodo and Sam run across him and his men in Ithillien. They then "witness" a battle between the Rangers and the Haradrim. That is, they are in a lightly wooded area and hear the battle. Anyhow, Faramir then takes them to a cave. Before they leave, he orders Frodo and Sam to be blindfolded and have their hands tied behind their backs. They then set off. After a few days at the cave, Faramir lets them go and heads off to Osgiliath. He comes into the story later, and tells Gandalf and Pippin what happened. He is then ordered by his father, Denethor, to go and fight the oncoming army. He leads a troop of cavalry towards them, and fights for quite sometime. But when he returns, he is dying, pierced by a poisonous dart. Denethor despares and thinks him dead. He then attempts to burn Faramir and himself before Minis Tirith is overrun. Pippin, who by this time was in the Gondorian army, heard of this and got Gandalf. After a while, Gandalf arrives and clears things up, but Denethor burns himself and dies with a palantir in his hands. So Denethor dies, and Farimir is brought to the Houses of Healing. Eowyn, who snuck in posing as a Rohanian soldier, got wounded in battle by the Witch King. She also is brought to the Houses of Healing. Both seem to be getting worse, but Aaragorn, the new king of Gondor, heals them both, because the hand of the healer is the hand of the king. So says an ancient poem. While gradually recovering, they are also gradually falling in love. After the war is over and evil is wiped away, they get married, and he is named the Prince of Ithillien. That is where his story ends, and his is a story both of happiness, and sadness alike.
