Here are a few random personal thoughts on this chapter:

If ever a sentence has cried out for a fan fiction (or RPG), it is this one:
Quote:
...the fabulous Belladonna Took, one of the three remarkable daughters of the Old Took...
Wouldn't you just love to meet Bilbo's mother (at least in her younger days)? Of course, add to that the following one about the 'fairy wife' of a Took ancestor; I know of at least one well-written fan fiction on that notion (by mark12_30).

Other sentences or phrases that I find wonderful to read:

Quote:
...one morning long ago in the quiet of the world, where there was less noise and more green...

...warriors are busy fighting one another in distant lands, and in this neighbourhood heroes are scarce...

The explanation did not seem to explain. [This sentence is one I want to use when hearing politicians and officials speak!]
