Draft Notes
In earlier drafts of The Lord of the Rings Fatty Bolger played a much larger role, but this was later abandoned. He does, however, become one of the first and last heroes of the book. He leaves the other four hobbits at the gate to the Old Forest and goes back to Crickhollow to face the wrath of the Black Riders, possibly delaying them by several days by his deception. Then he is one of the last to be rescued from prison, having defied the gangs of Saruman, in the very last chapter of the book.

Famous quotes containing the words draft and/or notes:
“If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
—Malcolm X (1925–1965)
“Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
