"Last (or First)" [In reply to] Can't Post


Quote
Well, IIRC, in A Short Rest Tolkien called it "The Last Homely House West of the Mountains", referring to the edge of the Wild. Here it is the first upon returning from there...

... the use of "Last (or First)" was a return to the rather low-key, obvious hobbity humour...


Yes, of course... it's so obvious now that you mention it. Bilbo remained a linear thinker (and sharp of wit apparently) even after all he'd been through. Laugh
