I'm just guessing, she was 100.

Lobelia is a flower. (A common hobbit practice, using flower names)

Well done Cirdan, well done!

She was indeed 100, and Lobelia is a small, blue, mountain flower.

Your go, Cirdan.

Sure there were.

"Then there's a travelling company of dwarves going West come in this evening." Butterbur "At the Sign of the Prancing Pony"

"Barliman Butterbur was standing near the fire, talking to a couple of dwarves. .....On the benches were various folk:....a few more dwarves..." Ibid.

I'm surprised I forgot that. There's such a dearth of dwarves in book one. Could be an excuse for another re-read (as if I need one).
