An excellent anagram, dear Stablemaster. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Heard in the local Inn, by an alcoholic ropemaker:

Gin for row-pes!

Gardener? Stablemaster? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Ah well, at least I understand the ropemaker:

Rings of Power.

The Green Dragon Inn. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And you've got it!

Esmeralda Brandybuck, better known as Esmeralda Took, is the Hobbit in question. So she did indeed take her husbands family name after they married??
