Buscando en una encicolpedia on line, vi que había una entrada dedicada a las hermanas de Pippin, y me dije, que caray, a ver que dicen de ellas que no se nada
Y me encontré con una historia curiosísima de la que jamás había oido hablar O_o

Lalia Took
Wife of Thain Fortinbras II. Lalia Clayhanger was born in 2883. She married Fortinbras Took in 2914 when she was 31. Their son Ferumbras was born in 2916. Upon the death of her husband in 2980, Lalia became the nominal head of the Took family. According to Hobbit custom, her son would not succeed her until her death. She ruled for 22 years. Lalia was a great and memorable though not universally beloved matriarch. It was said that Ferumbras remained unmarried because no Hobbit-maid wanted Lalia as a mother-in-law.
Lalia was so fat that she could not walk and had to be pushed in a wheelchair. She was thus unable to attend Bilbo Baggins' Farewell Party in 3001. One day in the spring of 3002, Lalia was pushed by her attendant to take air at the Great Door of the Great Smials. The chair ran over the threshold and tipped and Lalia fell down the steps into the garden and died. It was rumored that the attendant was Pearl Took, sister of Pippin Took. After Ferumbras became Thain, Pearl received a pearl necklace that was a Took family heirloom.

There is a curious story about Pearl Took. It was rumored that one spring morning in 3002, it was Pearl's duty to wheel Lalia Took - the immensely fat and not well-loved matriarch of the Took family - to the door of the Great Smials for a breath of fresh air. The wheelchair apparently hit the threshold of the Great Door and Lalia fell down the steps and died. Pearl was not allowed to attend the accession ceremony of Lalia's son Thain Ferumbras III, but later she received a magnificent pearl necklace that was a Took family heirloom.


Resumiendo: Lalia era enorme, tan gorda que tenia que ir en silla de ruedas (¡¡¡¡!!!! ¿¿¿¿silla de ruedas???? ¿¿¿en esos tiempos??? O_O), y no era muy querida por sus parientes. Y Perla que era su "enfermera" la intentó sacar a pasear y se cayó al tropezar la silla y murió... y a Perla no la dejaron ir al funeral; nadie lamentó tanto su muerte y hasta le regalaron a la joven un collar de perlas herencia familiar.
:O
¿No es un pelín macabro?

Y ya que estamos, ¿alguien conoce curiosidades como esta? Curiosidades que no se han dicho en los libros, sino en otras fuentes... No tan macabras creo que sean, pero...

Besotes de hobbittttt
