Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Hi master Barliman !
Did you see any lossoth men on wooden things in the north? This is something I always fear...walking on too much snow for my size. Maybe they have some suitable for hobbits there?
By the way, I am really glad you are back as it is time for breakfast.

'Tother way round, Master Tree - the '-key' variety is the (superior!) type, as sold in Mithril-land, and also as spelt in the US, though I've never tried the American variety myself so can't comment on its flavour. My holiday was in whisky-land, currently a very confused country attempting to commit financial and political suicide.

Hello Master Barli, welcome back! (to your own bar, no less). Thankfully the "NO's" won, and that whole suicide business was avoided, at least for now. In the meantime, I have promised my friend, the Tree, some weed and ale (yes!! he will sip some ale . . . only it still must be out of his bowl). Enjoy Master Ent!

huoooommmmm ... thank you so much, Master Twrich ... huom ... I'll enjoy this .... rhuômmhuom ... er, Master Barliman, I always trust that any liquid you fill my bowl with and is of a honey-or amber-colour is of very fine quality ... huom ... though you often choose to use different names for that liquid ... huom ... so if you call it ale today that's fine with me ... rhuom

...So late that the kitchen is closed, alas.

Good night, Master Thingol, I am sorry but in this case I cannot be of any help, alas ... rhuoom ... though Mr Barliman still is around here, somewhere ... huomm ... but mind please, when Mrs Barliman says "kitchen's closed" that's a fact, even for him ... rhoomm ... as far as I know ... huom ... and Nob cannot reach up to handle the cooker ... huom ... besides, he doesn't seem to be keen on such matters as I can hear him snoring from somewhere in a distance ... huom ... that's all there is ....

Good morning

So I will share a "on the rocks" to see all release even if it's a bit early for this drink.
But I understand Master Barliman doesn't mind

huoomm .... ah, I saw a well-known picture by Master William Hogarth in that link, Master Barliman ... rhuo^0m ... an interesting mind he had ... hoomm ... but wasn't it just after he left 'Gin Lane' when he engraved his ideas about a 'wrong perspective' ? ... alas, I cannot exactly recall ... huomm ... as it was a long time ago ... huoommm ...
... er, sorry Sir, I have been busy dusting and cleaning these premises from all them cobwebs, swiping the floor ... huom ... alas ... for about a week by now ... huom ... just in case it's clean if anyone pops in here ... huoomm ...

Good advice regarding gin, Master Milo. I too only ever dreank it once, when I was a teenager. As far as my taste-buds are concerned, it's AWFUL stuff. I'd rather drink anything else, up to and including rat pee...

A lovely, cold refreshing drink, not to be consumed in small quantities (Gin that is, not rat's pee)

The idea of drinking gin in large quantities is pretty unappealing! Still, some people inexplicably don't like my scrumpy, so clearly we all have different tastes.

The Scrumpy is excellent, even with 'additions' - I just can't stand that stuff with or without an 'e'

Huuoommm .... I'm just back in here again from having taken a short holiday ... rhuom ... seems that I have to hurry with painting my leaves, as many trees are already busy with it ... hooooommm ... well, I'd bet they're too hasty ... huom ... so, Master Barliman, I'll have a well-filled bowl of that honey-coloured-non-sparkeling-liquid, please ... huom ... and yes, of course, coiny-things I do own ... huuôm ... was it owe ? ... sorry, I still have slight problems with the Breeish tongue and writing... hom ... but I'm sure you know what I mean ... rhuômmmmm ... mmm?
