Mundo Sackville-Baggins has demanded that Mayor Whitfoot pay compensation to his family for Mundo's recent bad experiences, and the mayor is at a loss as to what to do.
'I'm not afraid of the Sackville-Bagginses, not one bit! I'm just... very busy, all of a sudden. You go tell Lobelia that I'm not going to give her anything for Mundo's troubles. She lives at Bag End, north of Hobbiton.'1/1
'I heard about the troubles my nephew Mundo went through in Bree-land. I assume you're here with Old Flourdumpling's coin-purse, to repay us for Mundo's hardship?
'You're not? What is this nonsense? Whitfoot doesn't have an ounce of sense in that fat head of his! It doesn't surprise me that he didn't have the courage to come tell me this himself, but he'll regret it! I'll go to Michel Delving to see him personally and tell him in no uncertain terms what I think of him!
'What use is he as Mayor, anyway? And what use are the Bounders, for that matter? My nephew has gone through so much, and he was barely outside the Bounds!'1/1
