Quote:

I am hungry. What is the time?

The first words of Meriadoc Brandybuck after his awakening in the Houses of Healing.

Mnemosyne · 08-25-2009, 01:52 PM

Hah, called it.

Still one of my favorite lines, by the way, especially when taken in contrast with the dire mood of the previous chapter.

Take it away, Inziladun.

Inziladun · 08-25-2009, 06:47 PM

It is a good line. Just what you'd expect from a Hobbit regaining consciousness after facing down an undead menace.

This one may be tough.

Only relatively tough, of course. We're talking Tolkien scholars here.
