gondowe has just left Hobbiton.
Why?

Because I want to do it and I know some people also want to do. But of course, it`s a personal game, for personal reading.

In the mare-magnum of versions of this history I think is fascinating to try to put order in them.

Quote:
Tolkien while brilliant was not infallible; the LR is littered with uncorrected lines he overlooked during revision- that's what a 'ghost' is, as in the 'ghost' of an earlier draft. Just for two examples, Aragorn's "sleep without fear" statement in Caras Galadon, and Pippin seeing the moon rising rather than setting on the night of the war-beacons.
These and those in the post above are other kind of ghost sentences, that one could be minimised thanks to the legendarium "incomplete", and according with my/our principles exposed above in this post.

Greetings
