The significance of Merry and Pippin - the real hobbit ambassadors - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Very interesting thread! True, Merry is quite mature; he thinks ahead more than any of the other hobbits do. I love the "Prince of the Halflings" bit as well; it's amazing what a tiny grammatical difference (Pippin using the familiar "you" of the Common Speech rather than the formal to speak to Denethor) can do for you!
