To bring it to the new page:
Is another hint needed?Old Tuk lives there every year and says his room is old and embarrassing.
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
So, is it during Bilbo's speech on his 131st Bday?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Did you mean his 111th birthday? If so, then the quote was a few years later.
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Oh, crap yes. 111th. Ok, but the quote relates to Bilbo surpassing the Old Took in age?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
No, Bilbo wasn't present when it was spoken.
Edit: I just realized that if you're referring to Bilbo surpassing the Old Took, then you're right about it being the 131st birthday, and therefore, the quote was spoken a few years earlier.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Is it spoken by a Hobbit?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Even more precise: it's from Book III (which eliminates Frodo and Sam).
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Is it said in Isengard?

Ok; so either Merry or Pippin, and before Isengard....so likely in Fangorn.

Pippin to Merry:
"They say the Old Took lived in it year after year, while he and the old room got older and shabbier together - and it has never been changed since he died, a century ago."

Very close to the original:
Yes, certainly. Faster is better. Don't be too kind!
