“You may not like my burglar, but please don't damage him.”

“I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less.”

“I am like a burglar that can't get away, but must go on miserably burgling the same house day after day.—Bilbo Baggins”

“Sorry! I don't want any adventures, thank you. Not Today. Good morning! But please come to tea -any time you like! Why not tomorrow? Good bye!”

“please don't cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean.”

“I am not going to do anything with you: not if you mean by that 'do something to you' without your leave. We might do some things together. I don't know about sides. I go my own way; but your way may go along with mine for a while.”

“And that's the way of a real tale. Take any one that you're fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it don't know. And you don't want them to.”
