"Yeah, I've run into Gaufwin a few times. Friendly chap. Takes one to know one, right? Don't know what business he has down Tharbad, but each to his own I guess" - Jules Muttonsworth, Greenway vagabond

"Stops here for supplies at least once a year. Used to be a talker, that one. My daughter married Oddvar three winters ago. The boy's not much of a talker since. I rather like that." - Aerling, Beorning villager

"Ah, yes, he comes by these parts every now and then. Has business with the elves, you know. Oh, oh, oh! Look! He gave me this! Would you look at that! Proper first-class fancy stuff, that, yes? They don't make 'em like that in the Shire, you know. No, you can't have it. It's mine. To look after, anyway. Said it was important and that he'd come for it one of those days. Imma use it for old Toby's until he does. Which might be soon, you know, 'cause it's been a while since I last saw him." - Hubert, Needlehole fisherhobbit

"Move on!" - Bree town-guard
