The First Edition has the same discrepancy for "that", and Hammond and
Scull's _Reader's Companion_ makes no note of it. In fact that line of
Frodo's (or those lines, if you prefer) doesn't even rate a mention in
_HoME IX_, even though it includes a reference to a plot outline where
Frodo was still named "Bingo". I guess _nobody_ wanted to point it out
before now. :)

talks about Fight Club! Or Frodo's incorrectly quoting
previous dialogue."
