So naturally thinking over the Hobbits that I knew, I said to myself: 'I want a dash of the Took' (but not too much. "I had not time to sort them all out but I knew the Shire very well by that time, although when I met Thorin I had been away for more than twenty years on less pleasant business. "How would you select any one Hobbit for such a purpose?" said Gandalf. There was some interesting discussion about this in one of the earlier drafts of The Quest of Erebor (published in Unfinished Tales):

He wanted, all the same, to be free to go when the chance came, or he had made up his courage. No, I guessed that he wanted to remain "unattached" for some reason deep down which he did not understand himself - or would not acknowledge, for it alarmed him. I thought that odd, though I guessed why it was and the reason that I guessed was not the one that most of the Hobbits gave me: that he had early been left very well off and his own master. This from Gandalf about BilboĪnd now I found that he was "unattached" - to jump on again, for of course I did no know all this until I went back to the Shire. I'll edit it in if I find it.Įdit: I was mistaken, it's from Unfinished Tale. There's a passage somewhere in the Hobbit, near the start which sort of explains this. I would think its a mixture of other hobbits seeing them as odd and un-hobbit like and also their desire to stay free and go off adventuring without a notice.
There are other Tolkien-themed subreddits out there! Say hello to our friends in the following places: We're looking at starting a wiki for these common ones.

Links are allowed, so long as they contribute to the discussion. No posts that are simply links or title-only. (Some more obscure topics we will allow.) There are other spaces on Reddit to discuss the movies, games, fanfiction, AI-generated content, etc. This sub is intended primarily for serious posts, although humour in discussion is still welcome.ĭon’t discuss topics that stray too far away from having the centre of attention on Tolkien and his works.
Stick to the topic instead of commenting on others. No insults, and no aggressive or passive-aggressive comments.
