'Speak with Lobelia if you're really curious about that door. I don't know which is more frightening -- a cellar hidden away for fifty years, or Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.'1/1
'Are you here about that door as well? You listen here: that mad fool of a Baggins never said anything about a secret cellar, and neither did that awful nephew of his, Frodo. I could not be more angry!
'I've scoured the whole burrow and not found a thing that could be used as a key to a hidden larder. They meant all along to leave Bag End to me with none of its proper fixings.
'If you want to see so much as a doorknob inside that cellar, you must find me that key! That gardener down on Bagshot Row surely knows something, but he won't speak a word to me. You look like a big, ominous sort; you ought to wrangle the truth out of him!'1/1

'I'll wager Lobelia sent you to inquire after that new door going to the Baggins' lovely burrow. If you ask me, the whole affair smells of trouble. I tell my young ones, and I'll tell you too: best to mind your own matters, and no harm will come of aught.'1/1
