Oops, I had nearly forgotten myself where this quote comes from!

Part of the sentence that is said before that : "It might make it easier for me (........)"
And the answer is "It might and it might not. We shall see."

It is Alf Prentice, the Master Cook, speaking in answer to Smith of Wootton Major.

It is indeed from 'The Sea-Bell', and since the speaker is first person, unnamed, that answer is all I was looking for. Welcome to this thread, The Elf-warrior - now it's your turn to puzzle us with a new quote!

Why, to you, of course!

This quote comes from Smith of Wootton Major and is spoken by Nokes to Prentice. If he'd only known who Alf really was!

Oh, a proverb!
This is said by the gloomy Blacksmith (also known as "Sunny Sam" ) when there was no news from Farmer Giles, after he had gone dragon-hunting with the knights.

Yes indeed, Guinevere! I always chuckle over the way Tolkien characterizes him - at the above statement he bursts into song, says "A bad omen" cheerfully, and calls Hilarius and Felix "ominous names"!

Then it must have been said by Gandalf - he's the only one who would say those polite words!

On second thought, Gandalf is nowhere to be found in the minor works - let's see, a wizard? Oh, it's Artaxerxes, doing his magic on Roverandom!

Thumbs up Exactly!

and I'm not quite sure to whom he says "Thank you!" - to the magic bag perhaps ?

That was spoken by a stranger, at least at the moment of speaking, to 'Starbrow', that is Smith of Wootton Major, on his last trip home from Faery. The speaker was, of course, Alf Prentice - actually, the King of Faery.

Oh, as it's spoken to a male by his wife, I'm sure this applies only to men! It's Mrs Artaxerxes, to her husband in Roverandom.
Quote:
'Ridiculous nonsense! ' said Mrs Artaxerxes. 'Nice kind wizard, indeed! There is no nice or kind or wizard about it, if you don't give the little dog back his shape and size at once - and what's more I shall go back to the bottom of the Deep Blue Sea, and never come back to you again.'
Where would those men be without the women to push them in the right direction?!

It's much nicer to argue sitting down!

That's Farmer Giles' wife, Agatha, berating her husband at the beginning of Farmer Giles of Ham.

Good advice, but nevertheless a change of subject by someone who feels she's losing the argument. 'Don't stand there arguing with me' is definitely implied.

Right you are, Squatter - at least concerning the speaker of the quote! As to who's losing the argument...

Well, rather than sit here arguing, here's another bit of kindling for the fire.

That's the ostler, speaking of the Man in the Moon:
Quote:
The ostler said to his tipsy cat:
'The white horses of the Moon,
They neigh and champ their silver bits;
But their master's been and drowned his wits,
and the Sun'll be rising soon!'
