Quote:
Frodo sits down to his dinner. No sooner has he lifted his fork and knife than the palantir starts ringing: 'Oh, curses!' Answers palantir 'Hello?'
Voice at other end: 'Hello, is that a Mr Baggins? This is Susan from Tookville Double Glazing, can I ask you how old your house is?'
I can see the same scenario with Bilbo and the Sacksville Bagginses. Bilbo picks up the palantir only then to hear yelling and screaming from the other line. He then holds it away from his ear and slams it on the table. "Cursed In-laws, never giving me a moments peace!"
