Elfstone has just left Hobbiton.

Darn. I thought this was going to be a thread about different flaws in the story. Like how in The Shadow of the Past Gandalf tells Frodo that one who has a Ring of Power "never abandons it. At most he plays with the idea of handing it on to some one else's care - and that only at an early stage, when it first begins to grip. But as far as I know Bilbo alone in history has ever gone beyond playing, and really done it."

Interesting comments from someone who is at the time wearing a Ring of Power that was freely given to him by Cirdan.

Hmmm. I just tried to find some of the "flaws" discussions you all have had, but the search function isn't co-operating with me. Does anyone happen to have any links to any of those discussions?
