Last but not least - well actually, he
was least in height - comes Squire Windsor Gummidge, the reformed Hobbit formerly called Soregum. He was pledged to the custody of Gravendil, per decree of Mantoes:
Quote:
"OK, I hereby declare the Hobbit dude, Windsor Gummidge, formally redeemed for a probationary period of five years,” said Mantoes. “Subject to good behaviour during that period, said redemption shall become permanent."

He therefore returned to Topfloorien with Gravendil and Merisuwyniel and there serves them faithfully. Alas, the lack of wartime activity leaves little scope for a squire to prove himself, but he has his hands full trying to keep track of their twin sons and provide them with a semblance of educational discipline...
