Thanks for the hint and your patience, Saucy! I finally took the time to figure it out - the only thing that occurred to me at first as a contrast to "Earthwoman" was "Skywalker"! But the Miss/Mr. clue helped - there aren't many hobbits in the book who addressed themselves like that. Here's the quote:

Quote:
'And you can say what you like, about what you know no more of than you do of boating, Mr. Sandyman,' retorted the Gaffer, disliking the miller even more than usual. 'If that's being queer, then we could do with a bit more queerness in these parts...'
