http://www.myrias.de/Templates/Portal/images/idea.gif Found it!!

"What!" cried Gloin
Quote:

"One of those simpletons down in the Shire? What use on earth, or under it, could he possibly be? let him smell as he may, he would never dare to come within smelling distance of the nakedest dragonet new from the shell!"
Gloin (in the company of Thorin, Balin etc.) at Gandalf's suggestion to take a hobbit on their quest. (In the earlier version of "The Quest of Erebor", found in the Appendix to it)

The end of the quote puzzled me a lot (I'd never haved guessed those words) but "what use on earth or under it" rang a bell! :D

Tuor in Gondolin 07-23-2013 06:46 AM

Correct!

I like that bit of the dwarf's snarkiness (I guess Bilbo related
somewhat at the time to Rodney Dangerfield). And why when
reading of the "nakedest dragonet" are ones thoughts drawn to
royal babies?

Guinevere 07-25-2013 04:02 PM

:D Here is something in quite a different mood:

Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.

"Though a choice will come to the Dúnedain, and if they take the one that seems less hopeful, then your son will change his name and become king of a great realm."
Malbeth the seer, to Arvedui's father, when counseling him to name his son Arvedui (= Last King)
