The Hobbit's Alphabet 22/26
V is for violet
"It's violet."
"It's notsupposed to be violet. It's supposed to be lavender."
"Well it's not."
"I can see."
"Where did you get the paint, anyway?"
"It was in that shed at the end of the garden."
"You should have asked me before you started, I know what's in that shed."
"It was going to be a surprise, for both of you."
"Did you test it before you started painting our daughter's bedroom?"
"Yes. On a bit of wood."
"And was it a magical piece of wood? Would it have made the paint change colour?"
"Don't be so sarcastic. And no, it wasn't."
"Are you sure the paint you used in there was the same paint that you used in there?"
"...Pardon?"
"Were you using the same paint? Not confusing two different colours?"
"Erm..."
"Erm...?"
"Possibly. But there's not that much paint in there, I didn't think they're be more than one shade of purple!"
"Oh, Frodo," He blushed slightly and scratched his nose, spreading the bright paint across his face.
"Sorry, Sam. I just wanted to do something nice for Ellie by myself..."
"Well, no harm done, not really. We'll just have to paint over it. Or maybe she'll like it, you never know."
"You can help me next time."
"You can tell me before you paint anything next time. I don't want to end up with a bright red kitchen."
