‘Yes, the Ring,’ said Merry. ‘My dear old hobbit, you don’t allow for the inquisitiveness of friends. I have known about the existence of the Ring for years - before Bilbo went away, in fact; but since he obviously regarded it as secret, I kept the knowledge in my head, until we formed our conspiracy. I did not know Bilbo, of course, as well as I know you; I was too young, and he was also more careful - but he was not careful enough. If you want to know how I first found out, I will tell you.’

‘Ya, an bysow’ yn-medh Merri. ‘Ow hobyt koth meurgerys, ny withydh y’th vrys govynnuster* kowetha. My re wodhva yn kever bosva an bysow dre vlydhynyow – a-dhia termyn kyns Bylbo dhe vones dhe-ves, yn hwir; mes drefenn bos apert ev dhe dybi y dhe vos kevrin, my a withas an godhvos yn-dann gel, bys yn ni dhe wul agan bras. Ny wrug vy aswonn Bylbo mar dha ha dell y’th aswonnav, heb mar; re yowynk en vy, hag ev o prederussa ynwedh – mes nyns o ev prederus lowr. Mars pe da genes godhvos an fordh may hwrug vy y dhismygi, y fynnav vy leverel orthis yn y gever.’
