dragoneyes has just left Hobbiton.
Two more from Pratchett, both from his book 'Sourcery'.

The throne had been empty for more than two thousand years, since the death of the last of the line of kings of Ankh. Legend said that one day the city would have a king again, and went on with various comments about magic swords, strawberry birthmarks and all the other things legends gabble on about in these circumstances.
True, Aragorn never had a birthmark as far as we know, but he did have a sword.

Next to [a magic carpet] was a small, sleek oil lamp and - Rincewind craned to see - a small gold ring. He groaned.
The ring actually has nothing to do with the story, it's just your usual magical artifact.
