1420! "minor works" quotes

I'm strating new thread where JRRT's "minor works" (i.e. Leaf by Niggle, Farmer Giles of Ham, Smith of Wotton... etc) (not directly connected with ME) will be quoted.
Let's get rolling:

Who said and to whom:

Quote:
"And the wind has blown half the tiles on my roof, and water is pouring into the bedroom. I think I ought to get the doctor. And the builders, too, only they take so long to come. I was wondering if you had any wood and canvas you could spare, just to patch me up and see me through for a day or two."
A story must be told or there'll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving

edit:

Here's the list of works currently used in this thread:

Farmer Giles of Ham
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Leaf by Niggle
Smith of Wootton Major
On Fairy Stories
Mythopoeia
The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Father Christmas Letters
The Monsters and the Critics
Roverandom
The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun
A Secret Vice
Mr. Bliss


enjoy

Re: &quot;minor works&quot; quotes

Good for you. Little things need attention, too. This is from &quot;Leaf by Niggle,&quot; which I just read over Christmas, and it's Niggle's neighbor talking to Niggle. (I don't remember the neighbor's name, but, shh, don't tell anyone.) <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Technology and bureaucracy have formed a conspiracy to make my life miserable!</p>

Rats!

I just read Farmer Giles of Ham and Smith of Wootten major. I was hoping to get into this thread, but it seems to be stopped <img src=frown.gif ALT="">

H-I Could you do one in lindil's absence? Please?

Oh, this is one of the Voices talking about Niggle in &quot;Leaf by Niggle,&quot; when he was being judged or whatever! I don't remember which Voice.

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

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.

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?
