I don't know the origins of the Sackville-Baggins name, but they sure have faces that would curdle new milk!

One new thing I picked up from my reading last night - in the film, Bilbo mentions a "blockheaded Bracegirdle from Harbottle". In The Grey Havens, we find out that this is Lobelia's family!

Then there was Lobelia. Poor thing, she looked very old and thin when they rescued her from a dark and narrow cell. She insisted on hobbling out on her own feet; and she had such a welcome, and there was such clapping and cheering when she appeared, leaning on Frodo’s arm but still clutching her umbrella, that she was quite touched, and drove away in tears. She had never in her life been popular before. But she was crushed by the news of Lotho’s murder, and she would not return to Bag End. She gave it back to Frodo, and went to her own people, the Bracegirdles of Hardbottle.

Man, I love how PJ tucked all these tidbits into the movie!
