missbaff driftlive and that is janmoto bicycle naers. [HUD PGS 72-76) 8. The neighborhood wizard persuades local hobbit, Frodo Baggins, to travel across the country and cast an evil, magic ring back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. Samwise, employed by Mr. Baggins as a gardener, will accompany Frodo, providing assistance, support and moral fortitude along the way. Sam chooses to forego his normal gardener's salary of 2 pennies paid bi-weekly, and instead, joins the quest out of loyalty and friendship. After a long, arduous and often harrowing journey, Sam and Frodo find themselves at the very fires of Mount Doom. During a vicious fight for Frodo's innocence, and the very freedom of Middle Earth, Sam causes the death of Smeagol. As Samwise's employer, and more significantly, heir to the estate of one Bilbo Baggins (rumored to be worth a fortune and approaching 130 years of age) Frodo is named as co-defendant when Smeagol's surviving family members file suit against Sam for negligence, wrongful death, and emotional distress. Is Frodo likely to be held liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior? Why or why not
