Frost: 
  Good point.  After all, it only >sounded< like mimblewimble.  
However, it does not mean that it would be any less fun if it were 
Mimblewimble.

Frost:
  Maybe I spent too much of my developing time in books, but I've 
used Argh, Oohh, uuuh, uuo, and lots of "ow" in many different 
forms.  (Ow. OW. OOOOOOWWWW!  etc.)  Heck, I've even 
used "Yargh!" "Yarr," and "youch!"
  Basicly, its trying to spell unarticulated sounds.  Often I hear 
people read "Argh" with a hard "g" sound. It actually has more of a 
back of the throat almost making a "g" sound, but the gh is one of 
the best ways I can think of to spell it. 

  I think that "mimblewimble" is too articulated to be included 
amongst these.  I don't knwo what he was trying to say, but if she 
just wanted him muttering, she could have just said so.  I think 
that it has a possibility of meaning something. 

  I'm just not sure that it does mean anything.  We'll find out in 
the end, but until then, I think it would be very funny if Vernon 
ended up haveing magical connections.
