Hilary Tolkien (Young)
- Mabel Tolkien: Boys, listen to me. Do you know what impecunious circumstances are?
- J.R.R. Tolkien (Young): They're what we're in?
- Mabel Tolkien: When I was a little girl, all the new novels began like this: a family of good and brave people who suddenly find themselves in impecunious circumstances...
- J.R.R. Tolkien (Young): How did they escape?
- Mabel Tolkien: By coming across some marvelous treasure. Or else, by marrying well.
- Hilary Tolkien (Young): I'm not marrying anyone!
- Mabel Tolkien: Well, it'll have to be the treasure then - won't it?
- J.R.R. Tolkien (Young): But, um, people don't find treasure, mother. Not in real life.
- Mabel Tolkien: There's no fooling you, is there, John Ronald? Let's just say there's treasure, and there's *treasure* - and leave it at that.
