Reviving the thread:

That is Sam in the chapter "The Land of Shadow".

Lord Denethor speaking to Pippin in .... let's see.... what chapter?.... ummm... "Minas Tirith?" No, wait. Not there. Must be "The Siege of Gondor."

Of course it's Old Tom Bombadil - the last sentence of the chapter "In the house of Tom Bombadil" (Book I Chapter VII).

Now try this.

With him he made many perilous journeys, but as the years wore on he went more often alone.

That has to be "At the Sign of the Prancing Pony."
Mr. Butterbur and good old Nob are serving the hobbits in their room.
