Even forgave the family when they came to apologize.* (They came to apologize!?!??! I think I want to move to this town.)









*Note: The perp did not apologize and he did not forgive him. His family came over, in tears, (and I assume shame) for what their progeny had done.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

It's always the old, old people that pull out a gun. They need to quit messin' with old people.
