they were about to enter a Brave New World or something. I had to cheat to implicate Huxley. But in the phrase there's also references to baptism (obviously) and the idea that one need come to salvation with the attitude/heart of a child (there's a scripture or two about it). That really turns expectations for the scene on its head. To my mind, at least in the context of when Tolkien was writing The Hobbit, pecker=face (or chin). A queer turn of phrase, that. ETA: in the interests of accuracy, the line is Huxely, but not BNW.
