Essex has just left Hobbiton.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Is it that hard to imagine he bought them there knowing that we was going to travel with the four hobbits? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes it is. He didn't know how many hobbits would be travelling (indeed pippin and merry only bumped into frodo and sam just before this scene!) Also, I don't think he'd be spending any time in the local swords-r-us in Bree when they had to flee from the Black Riders. (ie jackson's type of pacing hinders the plot this time)<P>If he did go to the sword shop why didn't he give them the daggers as they left Bree? It's just too much of a coincedence to give them the swords just before they were attacked. Coincedence is something that should be steered clear of in films and books!
