Holfast's Tale
Now, as I remember it, it was three weeks ago last Tuesday.

It was around about four o'clock in the afternoon. it was raining as I recall and and me mam was just clearing up after a right tasty high tea when my old nan suddenly looks across as me and says " There's too much Took blood in you boy!" all testy like, then she went back to drawing on her pipe and sucking between her teeth. It was Old Toby, I think, now there's as fine a pipeweed as ever came out of Longbottom... it was discovered you know by an ancestor mine - Tobold Hornblower - a fine figure of a hobbit-gentleman if I say so myself.

Now, what was I saying, ah yes, I recall... I just sat back in my chair, finishing off the last of the crumpets and looking at my nan and I thinks to myself that's a strange thing to say, given she was a Took herself before marrying old Algernon, my grandfather.
