Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!

I've thought of some more. Many of them are from "The Scouring of the Shire".

Scaring Breeland peasants, and bullying bewildered hobbits, had been their work. Fearless hobbits with bright swords and grim faces were a great surprise.
Heck, let's just say I like the whole chapter. Did I say many of the quotes? How about all?

I also love the language Tolkien uses. It adds to the "historical" feeling of the story. The part about the person in the Houses of Healing not having althelas is another good part.

To me, it's mostly about the humorous bits, well, what I think is funny anyway...
Yeah, that's me too. Most of the quotes I've written down (Both here and in my previous post) made me laugh.
