Are you looking for something like making (?) the smoke-ring hover above his head, or something more specific?

There is a specific passage that I'm referring to. There are probably some other instances of this, but I do need you to be more specific. I will say, however, Eol, that you are on the right track.

In the cave before being captured by the goblins:
So they spread out their wet things on the floor, and got dry ones out of their bundles; then they made their blankets comfortable, got out their pipes and blew smoke rings, which Gandalf turned into different colours and set dancing up by the roof to amuse them.

Wine. Sometimes you may even get an exceptionally "heady vintage of the great gardens of Dorwinion". ![[]](smile.gif)
Imagine how happy I was to read about Dorwinion in The Lays of Beleriand. Well, a mention of it anyway, again regarding their vinyards.

Assuming I'm correct, I'll venture another question without confirmation.
When would you most expect a wood elf to be merciless?

EAEAEAEAEAEAEA.
(That's a buzzer sound meaning 'wrong answer'.)
Sorry, but keep trying. There is one specific answer in The Hobbit. (Although you'd think that an orc within their borders would qualify. Or a wolf. But anyway, keep trying.)

I believe it mentioned somewhere that they had little or no mercy on the spiders in Mirkwood...

Yea, Musnud, it is as you have believed. "The giant spiders were the only living things that they had no mercy upon." (The end of the chapter "Flies and Spiders")
Your go.

If Bilbo were to have Gollum over for tea and scones on Tuesday, where would he likely write a reminder for himself?

"Escaping goblins to be caught/catched (?) by wolves" - by Bilbo Baggins... This whole tree story, right, after he escaped from the orc-mines?

Ahh! I was thinking of a later one: "Never laugh at a live dragon."
But you are in fact right; yours became a proverb too. So, your go, Belegurth!

Well, there are two very similar "things" referred to in the whole book, which never appear at the same time. The decide situations and are very very old but not as old as the world itself (some Silm. stuff, you don't need to know it). They play a certain role when the dragon is slayed by Bard and one of them plays a crucial role escaping the trolls... hope this question is ok

Peregrin Took, it is indicated that 'out of the frying pan into the fire' was not used in the Shire, but is rather given as a modern equivalent to that named by Belegurth.
