Brego has just left Hobbiton.
That is interesting; on that note, are the letters something you can buy, or if not, where would you find them? I've heard a lot about them and they sound really interesting.

What does vorpal mean? Sorry, I've never heard that word before. But the rabbit will just be a general rabbit that can talk.

I can post a link to the story when it's done, if you like, so you can see the whole situation. It wont take long as I can type quick.

The book is pretty easily found, starting here. Highly recommended for serious Tolkien readers.

Vorpal is a word made up by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking Glass for the poem Jabberwocky.
