COMMON AS MUCK

“Common as muck” I've heard some call Harfoots. Mayhap we are, but t'was Harfoots as was first writ in family lists. We're not so clever as them Fallowhides, with their book learnin', and we don't use outlandish words and take to boats, like them Stoors, but we're the ones as puts food on the table.

In my eyes, tis just as well we're common as muck, or the Shire would starve. Ma used to say, “Everyone got a place in life. Fallowhides tell when to plant, but tis Harfoot hands as digs taters and all Hobbits as eats 'em.”
