Something like that?

Exactly. I've known a fellow or two like that in my time.

Well, my paperback copy (not the original one, that got lost having been borrowed and re-borrowed and never returned to me) in another room with kids sleeping in for me to check now, but Kindle edition does say necklace at least.

As a side note, I had to get closer to the screen to reassure myself this were a recent topic indeed - the names of the posters, they looked like something back from 2003 you know )

H I! Good to see you, sir!

I can't find my oldest copy of TH, which is no doubt buried in one of the plastic containers in my basement. I'm curious about this.

And now even more so. Any minute now, Mithadan will come along and tell us to get back on topic.

...but I just checked my edition, and it says "necklace".

"My dear Bard!" squeaked Bilbo. ". . . Now I will make you an offer! !"

(yes, the exclamation marks are that far apart) [Edit: the site doesn't let me put them as far as I want to; it shrinks the spaces]

Surely you don't disbelieve the prophesies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole bene-fit?

(Sole bene-fit... sounds like a shoe business )

And from a peek into A Long Expected Party that was put as an appendix,

"Well, so they say," said the Gaffer. "Yousee: Mr. Drogo, he married poor Miss Primula Brandybuck."

I have a feeling there was another gaffe that I can't locate at the moment... Will add it if I find it.

Thought that was just me. Let's do the Time Warp again!
