I do not suppose that this is the 'tiny little action' in the second half of TTT that is inconsistent with something that happens in the second half of FOTR and information we know from FOTR and TTT?

TTT, Book II, 'Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit':

Quote:
Sam, eager to see more, went now and joined the guards. He scrambled a little way up into one of the larger of the bay-trees.

FOTR, Book II, 'Lothlórien':

Quote:
Legolas at once went down the ladder to take Haldir's message; and soon afterwards Merry and Pippin clambered up on to the high flet. They were out of breath and seemed rather scared. ... Hobbits do not like heights, and do not sleep upstairs, even when they have any stairs.

FOTR, Prologue:

Quote:
The craft of building may have come from Elves or Men, but the Hobbits used it in their own fashion. They did not go in for towers. Their houses were usually long, low, and comfortable.
