The new row of houses in Bywater was called "Sharkey's end".

Strange name, by the way. One of Conan Doyle's pirates was called that.

But what is good for a pirate, is strange for a wizard. And where in Middle-Earth did hobbits hear about a shark? Or the ruffians (Dunlendings, or orcs), for that matter?

Next question: What weapon did Lobelia use when she attacked the leader of the ruffians?

Wasn't it in relation to the orcish word shraku or something? What's good for a pirate is strange for a wizard. I could see Saruman with an eye patch and a parrot. Drinking rum in Orthanc.

Yes, probably Orcish for Old Man, but Saruman believed it to be a sign of affection.

3 minutes is nothing, I've done it in one before!

What morbid imagry did Tolkien use to describe the hobbit children's piling up of stones after they had eaten plums in the year of plenty?
