    Summary

    An excerpt from A Guide to Shire Flora by Bilbo Baggins, collected by Frodo Baggins:
    The Mile’s End is a rare flower found only in the four farthings of the Shire. While no one is certain when it was first recorded, it can be found in Hobbit art and embroidery patterns going back at least 500 years. The peculiar thing about mile’s ends is that they only bloom when in the presence of true love or rather, soul mates. In Hobbit culture, therefore, it is mainly used during wedding ceremonies. They are of particular importance to weddings between two brides or two grooms, for both relationship and flower are seen as precious and symbolic of Hobbit love for community and family in all forms.
    Etymology: the name “mile’s end” is most likely derived from the Sindarin loth, meaning flower; mîl, meaning love; and henia, meaning understand. What originally was mîlothenia, became milothen and eventually milen. From there, Shire accent turned it into two separate Westron words: mile’s end.

    Summary

    It would have been easier had he gone away with Gandalf after the battle, before the hollow place Bag End left inside him was filled with something new.

    Summary

    “Fili,” Kili panted, surprised by the weakness of his own voice. “There’s too many of them.”

    “No, there isn’t,” Fili grunted, his sentence punctuated by the shriek of a dying orc. “There isn’t.”

    Kili’s arms screamed as he pushed another blade away. “I can’t do it.”

    “Yes, you can. Mightiest creatures in Middle-earth, wasn’t it?”

    OR,

    while on their way back from a business trip to Tharbad, Fili, Kili, Thorin and Dwalin are ambushed by a pack of orcs.
