"Afterword:
"It was only after Mr Frodo and Gandalf went off to the Grey Havens and I would sit on my porch alone in the evening that I realise what a manipulative old bastard that Mr Gandalf was.
"It's clear to me now that he had no conviction at all that their plan would work, and they sent four sheltered young hobbits to destroy a two millennia artefact of unspeakable power so that if old Glowing Eye won Gandalf could say he had nothing to do with it and just slip into some government job after the dust settled.
"He slew a Balrog in single combat but four teenage hobbits are your best option to do the job? Pull the other one, mate. We were fools to ever believe a word he said.
"He ruined Mr Frodo's life and left us to pick up the pieces. Not one night did old wise Mr Gandalf ever have to talk Mr Frodo down from the brink or comfort me after another nightmare of a black riders on giant spiders devouring Hobbiton.
"No wonder everywhere he went the people hated him. I wish we'd never met him and he'd plagued the doorstep of the Breelanders instead. Good riddance, I hope the Grey Haveners don't believe a word of his stories."
