The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits took no notice of the inquisitive heads that peeped out of doors, or popped over walls and fences, as they passed. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits had no welcome for that light; unfriendly it seemed, revealing them in their helplessness — little squeaking ghosts that wandered among the ash-heaps of the Dark Lord. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘But slowly, very slowly. Very carefully! Or hobbits go down to join the Dead ones and light little candles. Follow Sméagol! Don’t look at lights!’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Then he sat in the largest chair and called the hobbits to gather round him. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Though he did not say so to Bilbo, he also thought it important, and disturbing, to find that the good hobbit had not told the truth from the first: quite contrary to his habit. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Of all the legends that he had heard in his early years such fragments of tales and half-remembered stories about the Elves as the hobbits knew, had always moved him most deeply. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘A hobbit waded out into the water and back; but I cannot say how long ago.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z At that time Frodo was still in his tweens, as the hobbits called the irresponsible twenties between childhood and coming of age at thirty-three. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The four hobbits stepped over the wide stone threshold, and stood still, blinking. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z That night the Company slept upon the ground, much to the satisfaction of the hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘It shows you up. Nice sensible hobbits stay with Sméagol. Orcs and nasty things are about. They can see a long way. Stay and hide with me!’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Strider sat silent for a while, looking at the hobbits, as if he was weighing up their strength and courage. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z For some time the hobbits could not hear or feel what was troubling him. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z He wondered why the man was so suspicious, and whether any one had been asking for news of a party of hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘But what does the hobbit want all that water for? He has drunk, he has washed.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Then they all fell silent, and one by one the hobbits dropped off to sleep. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z At the same moment they became aware that the hedges on both sides, just above their heads, were all lined with hobbits. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The pain and alarm vanished at once, and the prostrate hobbits leaped to their feet. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z For a second the hobbits had a vision, both comical and alarming, of his bright blue eye gleaming through a circle of gold. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Merry and Pippin climbed the gate, and the hobbits fled. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits, bent nearly double, toiled along behind the taller folk, but it was plain that they could not go much further, if the snow continued. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z As they drew near the hobbits gazed at them. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z And here he was a little halfling from the Shire, a simple hobbit of the quiet countryside, expected to find a way where the great ones could not go, or dared not go. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z From the yells and screeches that came from the knoll the hobbits guessed that their disappearance had been discovered: Uglúk was probably knocking off a few more heads. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The tunnel was high and wide, so wide that, though the hobbits walked abreast, only touching the side-walls with their outstretched hands, they were separated, cut off alone in the darkness. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z With green scarves the two guards now bound up the hobbits’ eyes, and drew their hoods down almost to their mouths; then quickly they took each one by the hand and went on their way. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Little of all this, of course, reached the ears of ordinary hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The next day Gandalf and the hobbits took leave of Bilbo in his room, for it was cold out of doors; and then they said farewell to Elrond and all his household. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits now noticed that as he walked his knees hardly bent, but his legs opened in a great stride. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘I am almost sure that the hobbits have been up here,’ he said. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Kill him, if you think there are enough of you, my brave hobbits!’ The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z ‘I don’t suppose they’ve ever heard of hobbits down here. I suppose I ought to be glad that the beastly Orcs look like being destroyed, but I would rather be saved myself.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z After some time the hobbits heard him murmuring again. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z And he has at last heard, I think, of hobbits and the Shire. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z A spasm of anger passed swiftly over the hobbit’s face again. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits sat in shadow by the wayside. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z I still did not answer, but it hurt me horribly; and he pressed me, so I said: “A hobbit.” The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z To the hobbits as they looked out it seemed that all their journey north had been useless. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Holding the hobbits gently but firmly, one in the crook of each arm, Treebeard lifted up first one large foot and then the other, and moved them to the edge of the shelf. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘It’s in day that hobbits must hide now, yes in day.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z All the children born or begotten in that year, and there were many, were fair to see and strong, and most of them had a rich golden hair that had before been rare among hobbits. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Not even an eagle poised against the sun would have marked the hobbits sitting there, under the weight of doom, silent, not moving, shrouded in their thin grey cloaks. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z For a while out of politeness the hobbits visited the Common Room in the evening and answered a good many questions. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Soon after six o’clock the five hobbits were ready to start. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z There was no movement to be seen, but the hobbits crept by cautiously, keeping as much as they could to the thorn-brakes that grew thickly at this point along both sides of the old water-course. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z ‘It’s a hobbit by the size of it, but all dressed up queer. Hey!’ he cried. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The Orcs were making a great deal of noise, shouting and clashing their weapons, and the hobbits managed to whisper together for a while. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z But it is a comfort to know that he had some lembas in his pocket, even though he ran away without gear or pack; that, perhaps, is like a hobbit. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The three hobbits came on, and then the ruffians turned and fled, running away up the Hobbiton Road; but they blew their horns as they ran. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z A cheery-looking hobbit bobbed out of a door, and seeing the travellers, stopped short and stared at them with great interest. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z A hush fell on the hobbits beyond the gate. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Hardly twenty paces from where the hobbits lurked the small orc stopped. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Then men fell back before the command of his voice and questioned him no further, though they gazed in wonder at the hobbit that sat before him and at the horse that bore him. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The three were soon busy with their meal; and the two hobbits, unabashed, set to a second time. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Not right for a hobbit. If I can get these coneys cooked, I’m going to wake him up.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘I knew that danger lay ahead, of course; but I did not expect to meet it in our own Shire. Can’t a hobbit walk from the Water to the River in peace?’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Some of the hobbits looked at Frodo and laughed and clapped, thinking that Mr. Underhill had taken as much ale as was good for him. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z But it was not a tale that any hobbit liked to listen to, even by a comfortable fireside far away. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z But at the moment the hobbits noted little but the eyes. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z They passed on, Gollum in front and the hobbits now side by side, up the long ravine between the piers and columns of torn and weathered rock, standing like huge unshapen statues on either hand. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z For the hobbits each day, each mile, was more bitter than the one before, as their strength lessened and the land became more evil. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z For a moment the hobbits noticed nothing strange about this. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits led their ponies up, winding round and round until they reached the top. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z And he read us passages from The Lord of the Rings, in which the two tiny hobbits, Frodo and Sam, are taken by the evil Gollum into the lair of the giant spider, Shelob. Ugly 2013-08-20T00:00:00Z ‘All the same,’ said Frodo to all those who stood near, ‘I wish for no killing; not even of the ruffians, unless it must be done, to prevent them from hurting hobbits.’ The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z ‘Is there more in it than surprise at seeing four hobbits, not to mention the rest of us, where people are so seldom seen or heard?’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z To the complete surprise of both the hobbits it came loose. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits under the spell of Tom’s words may have missed one meal or many, but when the food was before them it seemed at least a week since they had eaten. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Slowly on hand and knee the hobbits crawled away out of the turmoil, until at last unnoticed they dropped over the further edge of the road. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z To his simple mind ordinary hunger, the desire to eat hobbits, had seemed the chief danger in Gollum. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z One or two other hobbits belonging to the farm-household came in. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘You did indeed!’ said Gandalf, laughing suddenly; and he came and stood beside Pippin, putting his arm about the hobbit’s shoulders, and gazing out of the window. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z And if Sam thought himself lucky, Frodo knew that he was more lucky himself; for there was not a hobbit in the Shire that was looked after with such care. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z As he stepped down he slipped it on his finger, and he was never seen by any hobbit in Hobbiton again. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Nice hobbits! We will come with them. Find them safe paths in the dark, yes we will. And where are they going in these cold hard lands, we wonders, yes we wonders?’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z He appeared already to know much about them and all their families, and indeed to know much of all the history and doings of the Shire down from days hardly remembered among the hobbits themselves. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Fearless hobbits with bright swords and grim faces were a great surprise. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits opened the barrier and stood aside. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z There was a gasp of astonishment from the hobbits, and then even Frodo laughed. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z There were, as has been said, many young hobbits present. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z I feared that it was a brave but dead hobbit that Aragorn was carrying.’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Don’t try!’ said the old hobbit, turning round and slapping him on the back. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘We have been set many riddles since we came to Tol Brandir, but this is the hardest to unravel. I would guess that the burned bones of the hobbits are now mingled with the Orcs’. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z But Nob, the hobbit servant, came bustling in long before they thought of ringing. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Gollum dropped at once from the branches of the tree on to all fours, and the hobbits followed more slowly. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘And here is another marvel! I have wandered in many lands, since I left my home, and never till now have I found people that knew any story concerning hobbits.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z It may be that he will learn that I was there and stood upon the stairs of Orthanc — with hobbits at my tail. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Very very good, eh, my precious? Let’s be good, good as fish, sweet one, but to ourselfs. Not hurt the nice hobbit, of course, no, no.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Then are we not to see the merry young hobbits again?’ said Legolas. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z At the bottom they stepped on to grass, and the hearts of the hobbits rose. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z But however anxious their guides might be, it was plain that the hobbits could go no further that night. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Tom came out of the house and waved his hat and danced upon the doorstep, bidding the hobbits to get up and be off and go with good speed. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z To some there Bilbo’s tale was wholly new, and they listened with amazement while the old hobbit, actually not at all displeased, recounted his adventure with Gollum, at full length. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The light in his eyes was like a green flame as he sped back to murder the hobbit and recover his ‘precious’. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits turned and fled deep into the shadows of the wood. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits were taken to a corner and given a low bed to lie on, if they wished. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘All that has happened since we parted on the bridge would be a long tale. Will you not first give us news of the hobbits? Did you find them, and are they safe?’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits of the villages had seen Saruman come out of one of the huts, and at once they came crowding up to the door of Bag End. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits looked anxiously at the distant hills. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The day before, her mom had made Grace change the sheets and clean out from under her bed, and “open a window—it smells like a hobbit hole in here.” Far from the Tree 2017-10-03T00:00:00Z The hobbits remained flat on the ground, as Grishnákh had left them. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits saw several horsemen fall; but their line held on up the hill and over it, and wheeled round and charged again. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z There were thousands of them, and they squeaked all round, neek-breek, breek-neek, unceasingly all the night, until the hobbits were nearly frantic. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Then Tom and Goldberry set the table; and the hobbits sat half in wonder and half in laughter: so fair was the grace of Goldberry and so merry and odd the caperings of Tom. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z And with that song the hobbits stood upon the threshold, and a golden light was all about them. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Just then some hobbits, who had been sent out towards Hobbiton, came running in. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits looked at him, and saw with surprise that his face was drawn as if with pain, and his hands clenched the arms of his chair. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The other hobbits agreed hopefully that it did not, but they all remained full of suspicion. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z When he had forced a drink from his flask down the hobbit’s throat, cut his leg-bonds, and dragged him to his feet, Merry stood up, looking pale but grim and defiant, and very much alive. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The poorer hobbits, and especially those of Bagshot Row, did very well. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z They had heard this and other darker rumours before, of course; but hobbits have a passion for family history, and they were ready to hear it again. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Otherwise nothing can be made out for certain. All our footprints are here, crossing and re-crossing. I cannot tell whether any of the hobbits have come back since the search for Frodo began.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z In their shed they found the ponies; sturdy little beasts of the kind loved by hobbits, not speedy, but good for a long day’s work. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z For a moment the sight of it gladdened the hearts of the hobbits; but Gollum cowered down, muttering curses on the White Face. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Room was made for the hobbit at the king’s left hand, but no one called for any tale. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Each of the hobbits saw in his mind a vision of the cloaked and booted Riders. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘I think it is a sad story,’ said the wizard, ‘and it might have happened to others, even to some hobbits that I have known.’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z But that was short of the mark, for twenty guests were invited and there were several meals at which it snowed food and rained drink, as hobbits say. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z His voice sounded thin and quavering in the cold dark tower: the voice of a forlorn and weary hobbit that no listening orc could possibly mistake for the clear song of an Elven-lord. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z As the light grew it filtered through the yellow leaves of the mallorn, and it seemed to the hobbits that the early sun of a cool summer’s morning was shining. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The young hobbits stared at the door in vain for a while, and then made off, feeling that the day of the party would never come. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘they are quite plain: a hobbit’s footprints. Pippin’s, I think. He is smaller than the other. And look at this!’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Are we rested? Ready to go on? Nice hobbits, they sleep beautifully. Trust Sméagol now? Very, very good.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z At last the hobbits saw, rising dimly before them, a steep dark land: they had come to the feet of the mountains, and to the green roots of tall Methedras. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z They passed slowly, and the hobbits could see the starlight glimmering on their hair and in their eyes. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘And if hobbits of the Shire are to be kept out in the wet on a night like this, I’ll tear down your notice when I find it.’ The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z ‘But how are we to get down there, even if you have cut through the drift?’ said Pippin, voicing the thought of all the hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z He found two places, all the same, where he had to trust wholly to it: smooth surfaces where there was no hold even for his strong hobbit fingers and the ledges were far apart. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits saw that they were descending into a great dingle, almost as round as a bowl, very wide and deep, crowned at the rim with the high dark evergreen hedge. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Several hobbits fell, and the rest were wavering, when Merry and Pippin, who were on the east side, came across and charged the ruffians. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The startled hobbits peered out of lamplit doors to gape at it. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The four younger hobbits were, however, in high spirits, and the party soon became very cheerful in spite of Gandalf’s absence. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Is it the custom in your land to wash the head before supper?’ said the man who waited on the hobbits. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Come along!’ said Merry, recognizing one of the hobbits. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Soon Treebeard turned a little away from the hills and plunged into deep groves, where the trees were larger, taller, and thicker than any that the hobbits had ever seen before. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The fallen hobbits were laid together in a grave on the hill-side, where later a great stone was set up with a garden about it. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits felt encouraged, and looked up hopefully at the broadening daylight in the sky. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘I hope there are not many more hobbits that have become like this. It would be a worse trouble than all the damage the Men have done.’ The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z He drew back the yellow curtains, and the hobbits saw that these had covered the windows, at either end of the room, one looking east and the other looking west. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z If they had had no larger companions the hobbits would soon have been entirely buried. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbit relaxed and fell back, clinging to the wizard’s hand. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z First of all, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Then holding the star aloft and the bright sword advanced, Frodo, hobbit of the Shire, walked steadily down to meet the eyes. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The old Ent now took the hobbits back, and set them on his shoulders again, and so they rode proudly at the head of the singing company with beating hearts and heads held high. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z There plain for all to see were the footprints of two hobbits, one somewhat smaller than the other. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits were still weary, when they set out again early next morning. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hearts of the hobbits rose again a little in spite of weariness: the air was fresh and fragrant, and it reminded them of the uplands of the Northfarthing far away. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘It was a call, or a signal — there were words in that cry, though I could not catch them. But no hobbit has such a voice.’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Listening to the tinkling of the drops the hobbits fell asleep. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘It’s tomorrow,’ said Gollum, ‘or this was tomorrow when hobbits went to sleep. Very foolish, very dangerous — if poor Sméagol wasn’t sneaking about to watch.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Nice hobbits! Brave hobbits! Very very weary, of course; so we are, my precious, all of us. But we must take master away from the wicked lights, yes, yes, we must.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Gollum, it seemed, had crawled off along the ledge into the darkness beyond, when the gates of Minas Morgul opened, leaving the hobbits where they lay. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Nobody else calls us hobbits; we call ourselves that,’ said Pippin. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits now left the tunnel-gate and rode across the wide hollow. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Why? Why not go at once? Where is the other one, the cross rude hobbit? Where is he?’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The local hobbits stared in amazement, and then sprang to their feet and shouted for Barliman. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Aragorn and his companions sat themselves down at one end of a long table, and the hobbits disappeared through one of the inner doors. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits scrambled down a steep green bank and plunged into the thick trees below. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Before long the hobbits could make out the shape of the land for some miles about them. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Above these the hobbits saw thickets of birch and rowan, and beyond them dark climbing pinewoods. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z But after a time, as Frodo did not show any sign of writing a book on the spot, the hobbits returned to their questions about doings in the Shire. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Too surprised and too relieved to talk, the hobbits followed after him as fast as they could. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘But Sméagol said he would be very very good. Nice hobbit! He took cruel rope off Sméagol’s leg. He speaks nicely to me.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The Elves sat on the grass and spoke together in soft voices; they seemed to take no further notice of the hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z At dawn the companions had made such breakfast as they could; now in the growing light they were getting ready to search the ground again for signs of the hobbits. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits fell asleep to the sound of the soft singing of Bregalad, that seemed to lament in many tongues the fall of trees that he had loved. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Pippin declared that Frodo was looking twice the hobbit that he had been. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z He laid his hand on the hobbit’s shoulder in friendly fashion; but Frodo felt the hand trembling with suppressed excitement. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Most noble hobbit, it leaves me deep in your debt.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z And still Meriadoc the hobbit stood there blinking through his tears, and no one spoke to him, indeed none seemed to heed him. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Sam sighed audibly; and not at the courtesies, of which, as any hobbit would, he thoroughly approved. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z That seemed to the hobbits quite enough to explain his ‘hastiness’, at least in the matter of Orcs. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits came back to their seats and sat very quiet. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z He knelt by Pippin’s body: the hobbit was lying on his back, rigid, with unseeing eyes staring up at the sky. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘I am not a tree-root, Sir,’ he said, ‘nor a bag, but a bruised hobbit. The least you can do in amends is to tell me what is afoot.’ The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Behind them other hobbits now pushed out some more waggons that had been hidden in a field, and so blocked the way back. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Do you know how much I would have had to explain about hobbits and lembas bread and wizards who hold your cheeks in their hands and pour love into you? Everything Sad Is Untrue 2020-08-25T00:00:00Z Before long, washed and refreshed, the hobbits were seated at the table, two on each side, while at either end sat Goldberry and the Master. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The Road was still running steadily downhill, and there was now in places much grass at either side, in which the hobbits walked when they could, to ease their tired feet. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘Man! Indeed not! I am a hobbit and no more valiant than I am a man, save perhaps now and again by necessity. Do not let Gandalf deceive you!’ The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Suddenly he stopped, put the hobbits down, and raised his curled hands to his mouth so that they made a hollow tube; then he blew or called through them. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z They began to hum softly, as hobbits have a way of doing as they walk along, especially when they are drawing near to home at night. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z They had marched as far as the hobbits could endure without a rest, and all were thinking of a place where they could sleep, when suddenly the walls to right and left vanished. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z To Frodo’s great joy the hobbits stirred, stretched their arms, rubbed their eyes, and then suddenly sprang up. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z As the wretched pair passed by the company they came to the hobbits, and Saruman stopped and stared at them; but they looked at him with pity. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Already, apart from many younger lads, more than a hundred sturdy hobbits were assembled with axes, and heavy hammers, and long knives, and stout staves; and a few had hunting-bows. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Behind, the trapped Men in the lane, still about four score, tried to climb the barrier and the banks, and the hobbits were obliged to shoot many of them or hew them with axes. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Spluttering and cursing he rose, and without a word or a glance at the hobbits he crawled away on all fours. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The two hobbits gazed at the towers and the wall in despair. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Bringing up young hobbits took a lot of provender. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z At first it seemed to the hobbits that although they walked and stumbled until they were weary, they were creeping forward like snails, and getting nowhere. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘But we have no need of other company, and hobbits are so dull,’ they laughed. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits seated themselves beside him, one on either side, with their backs to the stony wall, resting their legs. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘I am unscathed, for I was not here with him. He fell defending the hobbits, while I was away upon the hill.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘I saw him, Mr. Butterbur,’ said a hobbit; ‘or leastways I didn’t see him, if you take my meaning. He just vanished into thin air, in a manner of speaking.’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z “Yes, my boy, the famousest of the hobbits, and that’s saying a lot.” The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z At that a window slammed, and a crowd of hobbits with lanterns poured out of the house on the left. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits regretted very much that they knew so little about them: only a rather vague report by Sam of what Gandalf had told the Council. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Then the four companions went into the hobbit guard-house and made themselves as comfortable as they could. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits were glad to leave the cheerless lands and the perilous Road behind them; but this new country seemed threatening and unfriendly. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z ‘This is poor fare,’ they said to the hobbits; ‘for we are lodging in the greenwood far from our halls. If ever you are our guests at home, we will treat you better.’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Hour after hour they ran, pausing now and again only to sling the hobbits to fresh carriers. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z He knew too little of hobbits to understand his peril. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z ‘There are three empty saddles, but I see no hobbits,’ said Legolas. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Indeed the hobbits felt that the hair on their heads was actually standing up, waving and curling and growing. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z A shadow seemed to pass by the window, and the hobbits glanced hastily through the panes. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z As time went on, people began to notice that Frodo also showed signs of good ‘preservation’: outwardly he retained the appearance of a robust and energetic hobbit just out of his tweens. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits sprang to their feet in alarm, and ran to the western rim. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z He led the way, and following him the hobbits climbed down into the gloom. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Bless the old hobbit! I love him more than ever. I hope we get a chance of telling him about it!’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z But if the hobbits had any thought of escape, it was soon dashed. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Skirting the hither side of the pool where the hobbits had bathed, they crossed the stream, climbed a long bank, and passed into green-shadowed woodlands that marched ever downwards and westwards. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z But Gandalf made no sign; and drawn forward once more, half against his will, the hobbit crept up again from behind the wizard’s head. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z They had then walked almost eight leagues, and the hobbits could not have gone any further, even if they had dared. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z ‘Yet the marks are two days old. And it seems that at this point the hobbits left the water-side.’ The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z It was still fairly early by the sun, something between nine and ten, and the hobbits turned their minds to food. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Farmer Cotton collected an escort of some two dozen sturdy hobbits. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Suddenly before them the hobbits saw a wide opening. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z He walked away, and the hobbits made a lane for him to pass; but their knuckles whitened as they gripped on their weapons. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Farmer Cotton cleared the street, sending everyone indoors, except the older hobbits who had weapons of some sort. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z The hobbits soon found that what had looked like one vast fen was really an endless network of pools, and soft mires, and winding half-strangled water-courses. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z The hobbits did not pay much attention to all this, and it did not at the moment seem to concern hobbits. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Neither have they brought away any hobbits as hostages. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Though the hobbits ate, as only famished hobbits can eat, there was no lack. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z The hobbits began to tell him the story of their adventures ever since they left Hobbiton. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z That name the hobbits only knew in legends of the dark past, like a shadow in the background of their memories; but it was ominous and disquieting. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z I had been in a hobbit glade like three minutes ago.
