I am guessing that this was said about the drop to the water in the cellars of the elf king. I cant remember anything about who would have said it... bilbo to one of the dwarves.

I case you didnt realise this was a shot in the dark!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Technically, your answer is correct. The name I was actually looking for was the one his school-friends called him, "Percy". [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Just kidding - your turn, Mat.

From the first page of A Thief in the Night:

"For the Arkenstone of my father," he [Thorin] said, "is worth more than a river of gold in itself, and to me it is beyond price."

Go Bruce.

Many thanks Mr Macc. It's getting tricksy to find new and ever more obscure questions for this book, but here goes..

How many times does the word 'precious' (or precioussss!) appear in Riddles in the Dark, The Hobbit 4th Edition....?
