I seem to remember that we did indeed use the first edition version of that line. I think I requested that we do so, but yours was the edition we had available, so the request was unneccessary.
It would be nice sometime to put together my own 'edition' of LotR, choosing the best of the various differences in the published versions and some bits that were in T's final version, which somehow missed getting into the printed edition, but which are in HoMe, such as the final version of Bilbo's Eärendil poem.
Similarly for the Silmarillion, but that is a much more complex task.
You mean I'm not the only one who watches Midsomer Murders? Do you reckon the murderer having a heart attack while trying to commit suicide (no, really) counts as body 3?
No you're not the only one, but I don't think he counts as a stiff in the sense of the bodycount. Isn't the body count what you get before the solution, and he was on the cusp, as it was fairly obvious by then that the only other suspect at the half way point (the daughter in law) was no longer even vaguely possible (a shame as she could have done with going away for a few years!).
I've been wondering about the murderer dying from a heart attack: I feel he doesn't count as a third murder victim, which I was thinking off when I said 'body count'.
Last night's was quite unusual, as MMs go, what with my really not thinking that the kid at the start was going to be found dead: I thought he was going to be the one of the suspects!
