Re: Bilbo's sense of humor

Or Gandalf, recounting his exploits leading up to the fight a the ford prior to the Council of Elrond:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;I came to Hobbiton and Frodo had gone; but I had words with old Gamgee. Many words and few to the point. He had much to say about the shortcomings of the new owners of Bag End.&quot;<hr></blockquote>

Or an earlier one with Frodo at Bag End:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;Among the Wise I am the only one that goes in for hobbit-lore: ann obscure branch of knowledge, but full of surprises.&quot;<hr></blockquote>
