Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
Yep. Your turn.

By the way, I really like JRRt's interactions of Middle-earth's Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern. These orcs actually come alive as real, and rather pitiable, sentient beings, including their dreams of setting up somewhere on their own (as much as anything to get away from Sauron and the nazgul). Rather a pity there are no noted instances of orc redemption, given their origin is men and/or elves.

Is it ok if they're from different books? I think it is so:

1. Frodo to Gandalf in 'A long-expected party'
2. Dori to Bilbo in 'Over hill and under hill'.

2. Farmer Maggot to Frodo, Sam, and Pippin.
