THE TAPROOM 2

huoommm … which means I’ll get no filled bowl … huom … er, I just tried to have one for a rumour I just put up … rhuom … see, that’s a problem with us trees you have … huom … the only thing we have in common is the lack of coiny-things … rhuom … though, if I add another rumour, would you please fill that bowl now, Master Barliman, please … huom … second rumour comes after that, be sure …. rhuom …

… ah, thank you very much for serving a tree … huoommm … well, just give me a bowl-of-that -“Whatever” … please … huomm … thank you very much …
well, as for the promised rumour I just can tell that the ship-king is mounted … rhuom … don’t ask me why … it’s just like that … hooommm …

huoommm … the “Whatever” was a bit too … you know … hom … so if you don’t mind this time I’ll better have a bowl of that non-rat-tailed Grumpy, please … hoommm … now it’s relaxing chatting with a barkeep, you know … huomtidomm … all what’s missing is a background Oud-player, isn’t it? … wonder where all the other regulars are … huom … except the Man in the Dark, who’s having dreams … huom

Hi master barliman, I’m back for 2nd breakfast!

huoooommmm … it’s good to learn that Master Milo is ordering a breakfast again …. rhuom … I hope he wants a “real” breakfast, not that porridge-one … hoomm … some scrumbled eggs along with the bacon and beans supported by fried mushrooms and tomatoes that go well with the black pudding and small sausages … and yes, a nice cup of darjeeling and some jam for the toast… huomm … huoommm … why is it that I have become hungry now? … hmm …

ah, yes, indeed I forgot to mention … huommm … then I also forgot to mention the marmalade and the fresh orange juice before one starts a fully-fried-breahkfast … but we all know that … huomm … er, I have to correct myself … sorry … I rather prefer the fried black pudding they use to serve north of Bree instead instead of those tiny-greasy-sausages … huomm … but …
I just hope that Master Milo’s teeth will be able to bite all of that …. rhuom …. mind, it has become late and still Beorn is downstairs trying to find out about how better to save a roof from stormy winds and weather, slate or shingles he told me before he went … huom … anyway … I just hope he does not come up this night in his second form … my cat doesn’t like bears at all …huoommm ….

huoommm … get? … no, for sure there are no bears in the Teutoburger Wald any more … huomm … at least none that I know of … huom … sorry, but I cannot remember the last thousand years exactly … rhûom … as my memory is like a lumber-room … hoomm … as for Hajopai (the cat) he’s neither interested in bears nor beers … huommm … some racoons have arrived here from the south within the last years… huom … though those are no bears … huommm … that’s all I know, as Hajopai is less talkative than I am … hom

huoommm … I’m always here – just look up a bit, Master Thingol … rhûom … calm down a bit, please … hoommm … as I share your anger you mentioned elswhere … hom … quite correctly, I’d say … as for the birdy-things I’d better refuse to taste or rather eat them … hoomhuôm … though I would not hesitate to join in with a … er, mug,you said? … bowl of beer … huom
let’s just have some fun and enjoy … huommm …

I remember that here in my area, the lowest temperature dropped to the -20 Celsius.. brrrrrrrrrr …… I hope you prepared enough big logs for this winter…
