I imagine that the were hobbits are, mythically, the creation of a very strange
heroquest that went a bit astray.
I would also think that after the explosion, the little rascals ARE spending
their 'down-time' (or would that be up-time?) at "Uleria's Place" (due to a
mis-
transcription by a Carmanian monk, this was noted as "Palace" - one of the
little buggers was heard to mumble upon his return "mirror ball...flashing
lights...
ceiling mirrors....heart-shaped bed...hot tub..." Clearly, this is not a
palace but a "place" in the swankiest definition thereof.
One came back refusing to wear anything but smoking jackets, and would only
answer
to the moniker "Hef".
Go figure.

The Aubrey and Maturin novels are indeed excellent, they are by Patrick O'Brien. "post-Captain" "Master & Commander" "HMS Surprise" among many others.
