"Och! Werz Aragorn?"
"Eze laid up drunk in the Prancing Pony fer three days now..."
"Och! Watz there ta eat?"
"Ya know there's nuttin but tea and toast..an not mucha dat. Frodo take Sam and yer sister, load up the pram and make it down to Saurumon's and sell that damned ring...take nottin less than a fiver..."

My eyes were so swollen wit crud, I could barely see to drive the pram. No shoes. Filthy coat that barely came down to my wrists. The messenger boy swerved to the other side of the street to avoid us...such a sore sight we were.
