That is funny! As is the humorous thought of Frodo actually having a tussle with one of them!
Another part that makes me chuckle is this:
Quote:
'You'll live to regret it, young fellow! Why didn't you go too? You don't belong here; you're no Baggins-you-you're a Brandybuck!'
'Did you hear that, Merry? That was an insult, if you like,' said Frodo as he shut the door on her.
'It was a compliment,' said Merry Brandybuck, 'and so, of course, not true.'

Also. . .
Quote:
'Come in! Come in! I thought it was Lobelia.'
'Then I forgive you,' said Gandalf. 'But I saw her some time ago, driving a pony-trap towards Bywater with a face that could have curdled new milk.'
'She had already nearly curdled me.'
