Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
One more clarification: is it the exact quote which says 'X reminds me of Y', verbatim?

Verbatim? No. Not those exact words. But their meaning, yes.

But it is a quote? Not thoughts or monologue?

What difference does it make? I told you, I will have plenty of hints coming if in a day or two there is no success from you or someone else, but let's not do 20 Questions please.

You said 'in a couple of days'. That could mean five or six days too, for all I know...

No, I mean a couple days, as in 1-2. In any case, it definitely doesn't mean "a couple hours". Please have some patience while looking for this textual reference. Remember that it doesn't all have to be book digging, if you fall upon the right association you could very well bring it up from memory.

My memory is a terrible thing to behold...

Though I have possible candidates for X, like Pippin or Faramir...
