It bet it's food rather then gold, considering the quote's about Hobbits in the first place.

"Food" is correct... "Bribing Guards with Food" is a rather serious offense!

Yes - both words are correct. I think we're up to:
"This is what it is, Mr. Baggins: you're arrested for/_a_e-_r_a_i_g/, and Tearing up of/_u_e_/, and/_s_a_l_i_g/_a_e-_e_p_r_/,/and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-buildings without Leave, and Bribing guards with Food.

Is "Gate-Breaking" an offense in the Shire?

In 1419 it was - Shire Reckoning, that is! "Gate-Breaking" is correct!

Is it terrible that I get annoyed when people post stuff in other threads in the Middle-Earth forum because it means I have to click THREE links to get to the last page of this thread instead of just one?

...assaulting gate-keepers?
Midge, have you tried checking the quote-thread through 'New Posts'? That might save you a click. |

YES - an incredibly naughty thing to do!
Oh my... we're down to one last word and the speaker! Who will solve...???

"This is what it is, Mr. Baggins:
you're arrested for Gate-Breaking, and Tearing up of/_u_e_/, and Assaulting Gate-Keepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-buildings without Leave, and Bribing guards with Food." Just updating, unless the Shire had some Dunes in it...

No Dunes that I recall. Leastwise - none that Hobbits'd be tearing up.

I've been trying to recall all of Frodo's terrible crimes but I have to say, I can't remember any right now that fits in the spaces. Clearly he's too much of an criminal mastermind for me.

Ooh, "Rules"! "Tearing up of Rules"... I imagine those high-falutin' hobbits who just finished up their adventures in the south didn't take too well to the "Rules" being imposed on their friends and family!

Oh, rules! Seems so obvious now.
As for the speaker, young Ted Sandman, perhaps? |

Not Ted - as a hint, the name is not given - just the speaker's role or position.

Hmm... I'm thinking something like a Shirriff's Deputy, but I think there was a specific title for them (all I'm remembering is a word that reminds me of "Wheelbarrow", but that could be because of that particular Hobbit, Robin Smallburrow... who had something to do with the duty of safety in the Shire...)

Good enough Midge. It was the leader of the Shirriffs who came to arrest Frodo & Company. Your turn - or mine again, if I need to catch up.

I see we're up to 1,000 posts - so I'm closing this thread and starting the next.
