Re: Book I - Chapter 4 - A Shortcut to Mushrooms

That could be the case... but sometimes the best defense is ignorance. You won't be afraid of a dog until it bites you. Gaffer and Maggot were very tough old hobbits (and most certainly more than they appeared) but I'm not sure if they knew who they were dealing with.
On the other hand though maybe they knew perfectly well who these riders were and decided to take a position of &quot;I don't know- I don't wanna know.&quot; The neither help nor hinder philosophy.
Just a thought...
