"
It
all
began
with
Pimple
,
as
we
call
him
,
"
said
Farmer
Cotton
,
"
and
it
began
as
soon
as
you
'd
gone
off
,
Mr.
Frodo
.
He
'd
funny
ideas
had
Pimple
.
Seems
he
wanted
to
own
everything
himself
,
and
then
order
other
folk
about
.
It
soon
came
out
that
he
already
did
own
a
sight
more
than
was
good
for
him
;
and
he
was
always
grabbing
more
,
though
where
he
got
the
money
was
a
mystery
:
mills
and
malt-houses
and
inns
,
and
farms
,
and
leaf-plantations
.
He
'd
already
bought
Sandyman
's
mill
before
he
came
to
Bag
End
,
seemingly
.
"
Of
course
he
started
with
a
lot
of
property
in
the
Southfarthing
which
he
had
from
his
dad
;
and
it
seems
he
'd
been
selling
a
lot
o
"
the
best
leaf
,
and
sending
it
away
quietly
for
a
year
or
two
.
But
at
the
end
o
"
last
year
he
began
sending
away
loads
of
stuff
,
not
only
leaf
.
Things
began
to
get
short
,
and
winter
coming
on
,
too
.
Folk
got
angry
,
but
he
had
his
answer
.
A
lot
of
Men
,
ruffians
mostly
,
came
with
great
waggons
,
some
to
carry
off
the
goods
south-away
,
and
others
to
stay
.
And
more
came
.
And
before
we
knew
where
we
were
they
were
planted
here
and
there
all
over
the
Shire
,
and
were
felling
trees
and
digging
and
building
themselves
sheds
and
houses
just
as
they
liked
.
At
first
goods
and
damage
was
paid
for
by
Pimple
;
but
soon
they
began
lording
it
around
and
taking
what
they
wanted
.

"
Then
there
was
a
bit
of
trouble
,
but
not
enough
.
Old
Will
the
Mayor
set
off
for
Bag
End
to
protest
,
but
he
never
got
there
.
Ruffians
laid
hands
on
him
and
took
and
locked
him
up
in
a
hole
in
Michel
Delving
,
and
there
he
is
now
.
And
after
that
,
it
would
be
soon
after
New
Year
,
there
was
n't
no
more
Mayor
,
and
Pimple
called
himself
Chief
Shirriff
,
or
just
Chief
,
and
did
as
he
liked
;
and
if
anyone
got
"
uppish
"
as
they
called
it
,
they
followed
Will
.
So
things
went
from
bad
to
worse
.
There
was
n't
no
smoke
left
,
save
for
the
Men
;
and
the
Chief
did
n't
hold
with
beer
,
save
for
his
Men
,
and
closed
all
the
inns
;
and
everything
except
Rules
got
shorter
and
shorter
,
unless
one
could
hide
a
bit
of
one
's
own
when
the
ruffians
went
round
gathering
stuff
up
"
for
fair
distribution
"
:
which
meant
they
got
it
and
we
did
n't
,
except
for
the
leavings
which
you
could
have
at
the
Shirriff-houses
,
if
you
could
stomach
them
.
All
very
bad
.
But
since
Sharkey
came
it
's
been
plain
ruination
.
"
"
Who
is
this
Sharkey
?
"
said
Merry
.
"
I
heard
one
of
the
ruffians
speak
of
him
.
"
"
The
biggest
ruffian
o
"
the
lot
,
seemingly
,
"
answered
Cotton
.
"
It
was
about
last
harvest
,
end
o
"
September
maybe
,
that
we
first
heard
of
him
.
We
've
never
seen
him
,
but
he
's
up
at
Bag
End
;
and
he
's
the
real
Chief
now
,
I
guess
.
All
the
ruffians
do
what
he
says
;
and
what
he
says
is
mostly
hack
,
burn
,
and
ruin
;
and
now
it
s
come
to
killing
.
There
s
no
longer
even
any
bad
sense
in
it
.
They
cut
down
trees
and
let
"
em
lie
,
they
burn
houses
and
build
no
more
.

Take
Sandyman
's
mill
now
.
Pimple
knocked
it
down
almost
as
soon
as
he
came
to
Bag
End
.
Then
he
brought
in
a
lot
o
"
dirty-looking
Men
to
build
a
bigger
one
and
fill
it
full
o
"
wheels
and
outlandish
contraptions
.
Only
that
fool
Ted
was
pleased
by
that
,
and
he
works
there
cleaning
wheels
for
the
Men
,
where
his
dad
was
the
Miller
and
his
own
master
.
Pimple
's
idea
was
to
grind
more
and
faster
,
or
so
he
said
.
He
's
got
other
mills
like
it
.
But
you
've
got
to
have
grist
before
you
can
grind
;
and
there
was
no
more
for
the
new
mill
to
do
than
for
the
old
.
But
since
Sharkey
came
they
do
n't
grind
no
more
corn
at
all
.
They
're
always
a-hammering
and
a-letting
out
a
smoke
and
a
stench
,
and
there
is
n't
no
peace
even
at
night
in
Hobbiton
.
And
they
pour
out
filth
a
purpose
;
they
've
fouled
all
the
lower
Water
and
it
's
getting
down
into
Brandywine
.
If
they
want
to
make
the
Shire
into
a
desert
,
they
're
going
the
right
way
about
it
.
I
do
n't
believe
that
fool
of
a
Pimple
's
behind
all
this
.
It
's
Sharkey
,
I
say
.
"
"
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
umbrella
.
Some
of
the
ruffians
were
going
up
with
a
big
cart
.
