The Hobbit quotes!

[Lostgaeriel]

That is Beorn saying farewell to Gandalf, Bilbo, Thorin & Co. in Queer Lodgings. But Tolkien (or Bilbo) makes it into a slight 'flashback' - as you can see.....

'The goblins,' Beorn had said, 'will not dare to cross the Great River for a hundred miles north of the Carrock nor to come near my house - it is well protected at night! - but I should ride fast; for if they make their raid soon they will cross the river to the south and scour all the edge of the forest so as to cut you off, and Wargs run swifter than ponies. Still you are safer going north, even though you seem to be going back nearer to their strongholds; for that is what they will least expect, and they will have the longer ride to catch you. Be off now as quick as you may!'
