| Gatherers and Sharers "Even in the Shire there are some as like minding other folk's business and talking big." Robin Smallburrow, “The Scouring of the Shire”, RotK * “There’s a few carrots and some good onions,” said Gaffer Goodchild, “and a sack of parsnips behind the hedge. I daresay your Marigold’ll find a use for ’em in her kitchen.” “She will that,” said Daddy Brown. Little Robin Noakes, ears flapping, trotted down the lane. “Give her a minute,” muttered Daddy Brown, but it was half that before Asphodel Bracegirdle, cape flapping, came bustling up. “Now Gaffer,” she said, “what’s this I hear? The Rules say it’s best if we gather and share.” “Daresay you’re right there, missus,” said the Gaffer. He hadn’t mentioned the taters in the shed. |
