Tom has an idea.

Tom leaned over and said to Talondin quietly &quot;I don't know about that, my friend. Were you not listening to the words of the song?&quot;

Talondin shook his head and said &quot;No. As I said, I don't go in much for such things.&quot;

&quot;Well I was listening&quot; said Tom , &quot;and I know the words well. I've heard them many times and even sung along with them before. But until this very moment I don't think I ever realized what they said.&quot;

He paused and Talondin motioned for him to go on.

&quot;Jewelled knives and piles of gold isn't just hobbit stories &quot; continued Tom. &quot;There are hills just beyond Bree-land stuffed full of such treasures. Left over from the Kings of Old, they say. With the right partners, a person could likely get pretty rich, I'd say.&quot;
