Holiday Drabble:

gentlehobbit wanted a bit from the Prancing Pony.

Interruptus

Hoy, Mr. Frodo, there's no need to go making a todo. Mr. Pippin's only telling the same stories as get told in every pub in the Shire, and in the same order too. He'd a been on to Old Noakes' pig what vanished for a week and turned up wearing some poor lass's petticoats and all if you'd just left well enough alone. Twas only hobbits listening before, but now the men are staring too, and even the dwarves have turned to see.

We'd best just hope that Mr. Bilbo didn't sing that same song when he come through Bree.

Thank you! *elaborate bow*

Go on, Frodo, blame the whole business on Strider. He clearly doesn't understand hobbits. ;)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

He doesn't, really. And it's clear from what Butterbur says later that the story about Bilbo is common knowledge in Bree already. They'd treat it like an old familiar joke if Frodo hadn't vanished just after they got reminded about it!

LOL. This is perfect.

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it!

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

Very funny!

*snicker* I love it when Sam's being a bit irreverent about his Mr. Frodo. It doesn't happen often, so it makes it that much funnier when it does! And I'd really love to see the story behind Old Noakes' pig...would that story have had a Brandybuck and a Took behind it?

Could be, could be... but you know Old Noakes never found out! *grin*
