Evisse,
Are you referring to the statement in "An Unexpected Party" that "It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife"?
I have an earlier edition that even puts this in more drastic terms:
Quote:
|
It had always been said that long ago one or other of the Tooks had married into a fairy family (the less friendly said a goblin family)....
|
The reference to goblins was apparently dropped about 1966.
