In this chapter, we have the memorable saying "Short cuts make long delays." I'm wondering, is that originally invented by Tolkien, or has he picked it from somewhere?~Lommy
Hmm interesting, and of course this is also where we get Frodo's retort:

Quote:
"That settles it!"..."Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones."
And we know Tolkien certainly loved spending time at the pub with his fellow Inklings.
