b'As we begin Chapter 12 of The Hobbit, Bilbo the burglar is finally ready to enter Smaug\\u2019s lair alone, if only to get away from yet another self-important speech by Thorin. Braving the sleeping dragon, he manages to remove one piece of treasure from the hoard. But one piece at a time won\\u2019t cut it, and Smaug knows when something has been stolen. We delve into a Middle English proverb, Tolkien\\u2019s translation of Beowulf, and the life expectancy of dragons. Plus, we get to know another special guest in our second-ever North Wing segment.
