Hi Nob,
Time for my 2nd breakfast.
Wahou, it’s already settled! This place is getting better every week.
Thanks a lot for all master in the dark.

It’s good to see you little more now that windows are clean.

huoommm … where are Masters Milo and Imisel? … rhuom … they intended to come in here a short time ago … rhuoôm … maybe they got lost somewhere in between all the threads …. huommm …
anyway, I really need an extremely chilled drink because of the heat … er, Nob is there anything larger than a bowl? … huom … then I’ll have that filled to the brim with extra-chilled-clear-clean-non-sparkeling-honey-colured-slightly-watery liquid, please

Master Milo, you were right concerning the M113 … huom … the missing part is a stool, of course … hm, I was mistaken because I misjudged the size of Hobbits … rhuom … see, when Master Samwise sits on that stool it appears to be a table … sorry

Good afternoon to all! I am asking for an extra cold scrumpy served on a chilled jar please, we are melting down here at my city… we are a bit lucky though, thanks to some ent friends we have lots of trees on our city to protect us from the sun and the heat… although they are dropping leaves at a high rate almost like if it was autumn!

If there is someone else even in that dark corner that I cannot disguise I will leave enough coins for a scrumpy or two more, just in case someone else appears…

Well, I’m back at last, and no, I didn’t drink any of that awful Scottish stuff that they try to pretend is whiskey. (I know the Tree likes it, but I don’t. Well, not often.) I did drink a few draughts of their beer, however, which is very passable indeed.

Thanks to Nob for trying to cope with the customers.

Now, I must go and find my apron and get back to work. (Er, eventually. Still a bit weary at the moment after three days’ travelling.)

Alas, I couldn’t afford to buy them right now (having just spent too much while on holiday), so will hve to await one of Mithril’s bargain sales! From the pictures, they all look rather good.

…Except Forlomg still isn’t anywhere near fat enough. Presumably Mrs Forlong has put him on a strict salad diet.

huoomm … indeed, Master Barliman, good old Forlong still isn’t fat at all … huom … I know you complained about that before after the release of that mounted Forlong-figure … rhûom … and right you are … hom … what I do like is that he wields an axe with an appropriate shaft though he doesn’t seem to grasp it well… huom … but what confused me was that tiny-square leaflet saying that old Forlong was cut down by a group of “Easterlings” in the battle of the Pelennor Fields … rhôm … does anyone around here can tell me that it were Easterlings who attacked the warriors from Lossanach? … huom … I don’t have the time at the moment to re-read that chapter again … huomm … better have a last drink in the Pony now … huom … May I, Master Barliman, please …. ? … ahem, just for having cleaned them high windows …. ?

Forlong was hewn down by axes, and since the only axe-armed bad guys mentioned in LOTR are “easterlings with axes” sent into action by Gothmog after the demise of the Witchking (the bearded men “of a new sort … out of some savage land in the wide East”) it cannot be doubted that these are the men who slew Forlong.

Well, it looks like Mithril is picking up production a bit. It sure would be nice to get the backlog down to only a few months!
