This is from "Leaf by Niggle," which I just read over Christmas, and it's Niggle's neighbor talking to Niggle.

HI, your last quote was from 'Farmer Giles of Ham' - speaker is the giant, after being shot by Giles' blunderbuss.

At first I thought it would be Farmer Giles, but it was the miller, speaking to him.

exactly. BTW, I somehow figured all the millers with Tolkien are nasty. And I think I know why. I'll post a thread in the books upon the subject. Meanwhile, you serve now

Looks like there are only two of us playing on this thread - anyone else who's read the "minor works" and wants to join us??

I am pleased to answer the call for more players.
The last quotation was Niggle to Parish, who was looking at a flower I seem to remember. Quote:

That was the old troll, speaking to Perry-the-Winkle in the 'Adventures of Tom Bombadil'. And yes, Parish was looking at a flower - a small, shapely yellow one. Could it have been elanor?

HI, I looked through the four "minor works" I have ( Giles, T. Bombadil, Niggle and Smith) several times without finding that quote. Can you give a clue?

That must be 'Roverandom' then, which I don't have at home, but will try to get from the library - am I right?
