Huooommmm … thank you for your honesty and understatement, Master Barliman … so I will consider your advice seriously …. rhuoommm … as there’s some time left until next Christmas there’s no need for me to haste about these matters …. rhuohuom. …. I’ll announce that riddle in time …. huom … but first let leaves grow on those bare branches … huommm … and then colour them nicely when autumn falls … hom … then I will contemplate and consider again …. rhuoommm …. I cannot haste everything, as you know … huoommm… or is anybody around here wanting me to urge this year’s Christmas to be sooner than it’s meant to be? … rhuoommm.
Alas … on the other hand there are things that even old Ents cannot decide about nor influence … huooommmm … and this is good …. hom.
