Gollum did tacitly go along with The Baggins cheating,
which brings up an interesting question, if nice
Smeagol, who only wants to play the game correctly,
had continued to insist on playing the game properly
instead of helping out Thief Baggins by only asking
for three guesses (a poor trade), would
Bilbo have had to go along with being eaten?
Or, more to the point, how would Tolkien have
gotten Bilbo out of his predicament honorably?
