Must have been all that cake. And, really, honest, I never say 'let them eat cake.'

I suppose I really ought to go and do Fordim's quizzes now.

I am Niggle, I half expected it to be so. Having spent the last two years writing The Lord of the Grins, I find myself constantly going back over it and revising, in exactly the same way Tolkien did with his copy of my book.

The only minor works I've read are Leaf by Niggle and Farmer Giles, years and years ago. So I've no idea whether it is good or bad to find out you are Mr Bliss.

I... I got Farmer Giles of Ham!

Seriously, a gruff farmer?

There was one question where I couldn't really decide between two options, and on the second time when I picked the other answer, I got Smith of Wooton Major that describes me a bit better, I hope...
But still, Farmer Giles of Ham? *shakes head*

(I haven't read either of those stories yet, so I'm going on just based on the test's descriptions.)

I'm also Smith. I'm surprised I wasn't defaulted with someone more "cheeky" or spunky, but the result actually fits well.

Gruff? Moi? En vérité c'est pas possible!... When delicacy is my middle name? And yet, and yet... m-mm, lemme see... maybe, may well be, even is so.... especially when they [try to, most likely in vain] rouse me in the morning... but ain't farmer supposed to be an early riser?.... well, every rule must have an exception, so that makes sense, I suppose... or does it?...'Salt of the earth' - did you just call me dirt, mate?... it is a compliment? Is it?...


Well, cutting out dramatics, can't tell I did expect this, but can't tell I'm displeased with the result either. Only me and my Queen Agatha shall have to exercise more to stay fit these days when solidity is often mistaken for friability...
