Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-17-2005, 10:34 PM

The stone head of the king in the crossroads?

Wrong puzzle, stupid head!

Oh. Ignore title statement, then.

Can it fit in a bag?

The drawing-room couch where Bilbo revived after fainting during the Unexpected Party?No
Can it fit in a bag? That depends on the size of the bag... but more yes then no.

Firefoot · 02-18-2005, 06:12 AM

Is its purpose for sitting on (e.g. couch, chair, etc)?

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-18-2005, 07:26 AM

Hmm, if it is a piece of furniture, wouldn't it have been more likely than not to have been moved to Crickhollow?

Is it a fixture or fitting of Bag End?

If so, is it the hearth?

EDIT: Aha! Or the mantlepiece on which the Dwarves' letter was left?

(Sorry - very naughty to have two bites at the cherry, but I couldn't resist.)

Is it a fixture or fitting of Bag End? Lest's say, it has a fix place.

I'd rather describe them as one comment, one question and two related guesses.

But I'm finding these hard to reconcile:

Sorry, to confuse you. But what I meant is, there are a lot of things, he may have taken with him, but Frodo didn't left Bagend absolutly blank. It's not said, if he had taken this thing with him.

'...and before he could say knife they had whisked the trays and a couple of small tables into the parlour and set out everything afresh.'
