At least that is how it was called in the first drafts, before it changed to "Homely".
And are you a geographer as well? How cool!
In that case, may I ask you one question about hydrology?
It occured to me when thinking about Beorn and his coming from the Misty Mountains - wouldn't there be a stream coming down from the goblin's Back Door? Isn't this the natural place for the melting snow and puring rain to gather, and flow down to the Anduin?
"As all things come to an end, even this story..."
Here we read of Bilbo, who is “quiet and drowsy”, that “every now and again he would open one eye” and listen to Gandalf’s tale. Is Tolkien deliberately echoing this passage in LOTR when he writes, “At that Bilbo opened an eye, almost as if he had heard … ‘You see, I am getting so sleepy’, he said.”?
