Lindolirian 02-17-2005 03:37 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-17-2005 10:34 PM

I think I got it.
 
The stone head of the king in the crossroads?

Wrong puzzle, stupid head!

Oh. Ignore title statement, then.

Can it fit in a bag?

Celegorm 02-18-2005 06:08 AM

The drawing-room couch where Bilbo revived after fainting during the Unexpected Party?No
Can it fit in a bag? That depends on the size of the bag... but more yes then no.

Firefoot 02-18-2005 06:12 AM

Is its purpose for sitting on (e.g. couch, chair, etc)?

The Saucepan Man 02-18-2005 07:26 AM

Hmm, if it is a piece of furniture, wouldn't it have been more likely than not to have been moved to Crickhollow?

Is it a fixture or fitting of Bag End?

If so, is it the hearth?

EDIT: Aha! Or the mantlepiece on which the Dwarves' letter was left?

(Sorry - very naughty to have two bites at the cherry, but I couldn't resist.)

Is it a fixture or fitting of Bag End? Lest's say, it has a fix place.

If so, is it the hearth? No

EDIT: Aha! Or the mantlepiece on which the Dwarves' letter was left? No

Hm, four questions... bad boy...

I'd rather describe them as one comment, one question and two related guesses. ;)

But I'm finding these hard to reconcile:

Sorry, to confuse you. But what I meant is, there are a lot of things, he may have taken with him, but Frodo didn't left Bagend absolutly blank. It's not said, if he had taken this thing with him.

Firefoot 02-18-2005 04:22 PM

The footstool?

Celegorm 02-18-2005 04:31 PM

Running out of furniture, methinks.

Celegorm 02-18-2005 04:53 PM

The clock on the mantlepiece? No
The table? Which one? :rolleyes: - No, it's not a table

Firefoot 02-18-2005 05:05 PM

Sorry, it seemed to me after skimming the chapter several times that there was only one table in the parlor.

The poker and shovel for the fireplace?

'...and before he could say knife they had whisked the trays and a couple of small tables into the parlour and set out everything afresh.'

The poker and shovel for the fireplace? No, but close...

Firefoot 02-19-2005 07:03 AM

I stand corrected.

The fender Bilbo accidentally sat on?

Mithalwen 02-19-2005 12:48 PM

The fire tongs that Gandalf uses to retrieve the ring from the fire at Bag End?

Celegorm 02-20-2005 12:58 PM

Finally ... Firefoot got it...
 
The Fender is right! :)

Go on Firefoot.

Firefoot 02-20-2005 02:31 PM

Finally... I was running out of ideas...
 
Thanks. :cool:
