"And there was trouble right here in Bree, bad trouble. Why, we had a real set-to, and there were some folks killed, killed dead! If you'll believe me."

Said by Butterbur to Gandalf and the hobbits on the return trip to the Shire. :)

Lindolirian 04-25-2004 06:15 PM

And there it is, folks! Lead the way, Luthien!

bilbo_baggins 04-29-2004 07:02 AM

I think the letter H might clarify it for some....

The Saucepan Man 04-29-2004 07:12 AM

Maybe it will, maybe it won't ...

"We have been terrified that you might give us the slip, and go off suddenly, all on your own like he did. Ever since this spring we have kept our eyes open, and done a good deal of planning on our own account. You are not going to escape so easily!"

Merry to Frodo in "A conspiracy unmasked"
