Hi Orual!

Yeah, that's more or less the quote from The Hobbit that I was looking for. I had the following quote in mind.

'What did I tell you?' said Gandalf laughing. 'Mr. Baggins has more about him than you guess.'

Out of the Frying-Pan Into the Fire

I had overlooked the one you gave - from An Unexpected Party. (It's been a very long time since I've read The Hobbit.)

Your turn to ask a question.
