It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves.

But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.
