"Eavesdropping, sir? I don't follow you, begging your pardon. There ain't no eaves at Bag End, and that's a fact."

...said Bilbo. "Books ought to have good endings. How would this do: and they all settled down and lived happily ever after?"

"...Laurelindórinan! That is what the Elves used to call it, but now they make the name shorter: Lothlórien they call it. Perhaps they are right; maybe it is fading, not growing."

"But it is a greater honour to dangle at your tail, Gandalf. For one thing, in that position one has a chance of putting a question a second time."

"Master Meriadoc," said Aragorn, "if you think that I have passed through mountains and the realm of Gondor with fire and sword to bring herbs to a careless soldier who throws away his gear, you are mistaken. If your pack has not been found, then you must send for the herbmaster of this House. And he will tell you that he did not know that the herb you desire had any virtues, but that it is called westmansweed by the vulgar, and galenas by the noble, ond other names in other tongues more learned, and after adding a few half-forgotten rhymes that he does not understand, he will regretfully inform you that there is none in the House, and he will leave you to reflect on the history of tongues."

Ooops. These are supposed to be one-liners, aren't they.
