Вопрос к текстологам. Не подскажете ли, господа всемудрые, что именно сказано у Толкина о родстве Туков с эльфами?
И - где именно? В начале ВК мне это как-то на глаза не попалось.
Заранее спасибо.

В "Хоббите" :) В начале.

И сказано там следующее:

"It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife. That was, of course, absurd, but certainly there was still something not entirely hobbit-like about them, - and once in a while members of the Took-clan would go and have adventures".
