Poor Fat Bombur

"In the darkness floundering in the cold water they had a difficult and very nasty job finding which were the right barrels. Knocking outside and calling only discovered about six dwarves could answer. These were unpacked and helped ashore where they sat or lay muttering and moaning; they were so soaked and bruised and cramped that they could hardly yet realise their release or be properly thankful for it.

Dwalin and Balin were two of the most unhappy, and it was no good asking them to help. Bifur and Bofur were less knocked about and drier, but they lay down and would do nothing...Poor fat Bombur was asleep or senseless..they all had to be carried out one by one and laid helpless on the shore"
-J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973); The Hobbit: A Warm Welcome, pg. 181
