Further to the above, the following has come to my attention from the same source. It is clearly a scene dropped from The Fellowship of the Ring.

At the Prancing Pony, a scurvy-looking fellow shouts something in a foul dialect. His equally ill-favoured companion accosts Frodo

Talkative Goon: He says he doesn't like you.

Frodo (unsure what to say): I'm sorry

He turns back to his drink

Talkative Goon: I don't like you either. You'd better watch yourself: we have the death sentence in nine kingdoms.

Frodo still doesn't know what to say to this

Frodo: I'll be careful.

Talkative Goon: You'll be dead!

Strider approaches softly

Strider: This little one isn't worth the effort. Here, let me buy you a drink.

The talkative goon and his friend shove Frodo out of the way and attack Strider, who kills them effortlessly with the hilt-shard of Narsil

At this point the fragment ends. This intriguing scene gives us such a deep insight into the ways and customs of the Breelanders that I can only assume that it was dropped for copyright reasons.
