| Apr 6, 2022 at 21:43 | comment | added | Simon Crase | @MerryPoppins "(Strange name, BTW.)" "Merry" is short for Meriadoc, which is his actual given name. His family are upper class (his dad is the Master of Buckland), so it makes sense for him to have a grand name, which is shortened by his friends. | |

When they meet him, Merry had crossed over to check up and down the road to see if the other three were close to arriving. | |

Merry took charge of this, and drove off with Fatty (that is Fredegar Bolger). ‘Someone must get there and warm the house before you arrive,’ said Merry. ‘Well, see you later – the day after tomorrow, if you don’t go to sleep on the way!’ | |

| Apr 5, 2022 at 20:58 | comment | added | Merry Poppins | @NKCampbell Oh, no... God no! I have successfully suppressed those movies from my mind! | |
| Apr 5, 2022 at 20:56 | comment | added | NKCampbell | iirc - they weren't really expecting any dangers between the Shire and Buckland. It's a pretty laid back journey they are planning to make. are you conflating the book w/ the films? Merry says to them he and Fatty had done their best ot get the house in order before Frodo arrived, but then thought something was up because they were so late. | |
