The Last Word
"He's gone at last! And I'm glad for one I never liked him. He was artful. Too nimble, you might say."
So Nokes gets the last word. I had thought that it was also that way in 'Leaf By Niggle,' but no, there is a later section after Tompkins, Perkins, and Atkins have their say: the Two Voices have the last word. So why do you suppose Tolkien gives the last word to Nokes? |
