'That's right!' put in Young Tom. 'Why, they even took Pimple's old ma, that Lobelia, and he was fond of her, if no one else was. Some of the Hobbiton folk, they saw it. She comes down the lane with her old umberella. Some of the ruffians were going up with a big cart.   '"Where be you a-going?" says she.   '"To Bag End," says they.   '"What for?" says she.   '"To put up some sheds for Sharkey," says they.   '"Who said you could?" says she.   '"Sharkey," says they. "So get out o' the road, old hagling!"   '"I'll give you Sharkey, you dirty thieving ruffians!" says she, and ups with her umberella and goes for the leader, near twice her size. So they took her. Dragged her off to the Lockholes, at her age too. They've took others we miss more, but there's no denying she showed more spirit than most.'
