That's it! Your turn. I was also thinking of his fame in fighting the orcs and wargs, when he invented golf he cleeved the leader's head of.

Name three wives of famous hobbits who are the only named members of their (maiden name) families.

Eep, this is difficult to phrase. Example: If Rose Cotton were the only named member of the Cotton family.

These are probably wrong:

Malva Headstrong wife of Gormadoc "Deepdelver" Brandybuck.

Bell Goodchild wife of The Gaffer.

Menegilda Goold wife of Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck.

Having done a very quick search (since Bell Goodchild wasn't on my list) I believe you're right. The others on my list were Lalia Clayhanger (Wife of Fortinbras Took II) and Eglantine Banks (Wife of Saradoc Brandybuck).

I wasn't sure if my *Hobbit Husbands* were famous enough....but if you're happy with my answer then that's fine! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

So here's my question:

At The Battle of the Five Armies, what did Bilbo decide with "the more Tookish part of his mind"?

[ May 25, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

As I have said on another thread my copy of the Hobbit is being borrowed, but I believe it is that he would rather fight and die among the elves.

Close enough, your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Who was the first hobbit besides Bilbo that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippen saw on their journey home?

i'm only guessing but was it Shirriff Smallburrow, aka Robin Smallburrow?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nope

How about Bob, stablehand at the Prancing Pony?

Not Bob, but rather Nob, right?

Hmmm... would it be the gatekeeper?

The gatekeeper was a man and Bob no longer worked at the prancing pony in the evening. Nob is the correct answer, take it away Sam.

Is it Hob then?

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

huh? I said Nob was the correct answer.

Sorry, little slow, he he he [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] forgive me? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

No sweat, newbies need to get a little more slack around here.

OK -

What did the hobbits do on April 6 in the fourth age, and what are the three hypotheses as to why they did?

On April 6th the Hobbits had a holiday and dancing in the Party Field. Some said that it was Old Sam Gardner's birthday, some said it was the day on which the Golden Tree first flowered and others said that it was the Elves' New Year.

yup, your turn

Thanks.

Which Took went off on a journey and never returned?

I'd hate to see this one get buried too deep, so I'm digging it up.

Hildifons Took, one of the sons of the Old Took.

You are, of course, correct.
Thanks for finding this one again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It's all part of the service, Eruanna. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Who founded the Tighfield Gamgees' rope-making business?

Andwise, perhaps? I know his nickname was "Roper". [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

Nope, not Andwise. Although he most probably inherited it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hob Gammidge Andwise's Dad?

Well, his Grandfather. But yes, Earwen, you are correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please proceed.

ok. What were the three divisons of the hobbits?

Are you thinking of the Harfoots, Stoors, and the Fallohides?

correct [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thank you, Earwen.

Who was the founder and first Master of Buckland?

Could it be Gorhendad Oldbuck?

Yes, that is indeed the correct answer. Carry on, Miss Earwen.

Which hobbit had the title The Fat?

Lalia Clayhanger Took, wife of the Old Took [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Sophia

Correct [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Name two colors that hobbits were especially fond of.

They looked particularly nice in yellow and green.
