1. Again, as in Saruman situation, master of the Lake-town was not retired, he was forced out
2. Normally, the imaginarey quote is copntinuation, or should preceed, or should be inserted into existing one. As Sam's conversation with former Mayor is not given anywhere, + hobbits are far more amicable (most of them), than person insisting on due respect, that can not be the case

village
