Is this said somewhere between the ferry and Crickhollow?

Very close, Frelga. I was tempted to say yes, but I think it is more correct to say that it is just outside of that spectrum of places.

Should have said, between Farmer Maggot and Crickhollow. Is it said to Merry when he meets up with the Bag End bunch? I'm going on vague memory as I don't have the books at work.

That's sad! Because we went often, I just wait to see the problem and rest.

No, but there are Elves.

I want to say Sam is there, too, but actually I need to check.
