LOTHO

The Shire was a lush and lavishly watered land. All three smials on Bagshot Row shared a well, but the hill had another.

Accessed through one of Bag End's deepest cellars, was it's own well, above an underground stream. Few knew of its presence, the water pumped, via copper pipes, to kitchen and bathing room. Indeed, most thought Bag End supplied from the shared well.

It took time and much unpleasant effort to clean it after Sharkey's end. When they discovered a finger bone it was decided Lobelia need not know. Frodo earnestly hoped they had killed her son first.

Ewww...less for Lotho's horrible end than for the idea that the well needs a thorough cleaning.

Ohh that's horrible. Poor Lotho (and poor Lobelia!).

I like the conception of the well, though. That's very clever, finger bones aside.
