Unfortunately, Thranduil recovered far enough to convert the Gaffer's earthy comment to more elegant Elvish terms, which nonetheless conveyed pretty much the same message.

Since there's only the two of us playing, Gando, I'm going to do an 'unfortunately' so we can switch sides for a while.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer had picked up enough Elvish from Bilbo to get the gist of what Thranduil said.

Fortunately, Legolas saw Haldir coming to visit, and told Thranduil.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer also saw Haldir coming to visit, got even more upset and complained even more loudly about "all this strange foreign folk tramping around here!!!"

Fortunately, Rosie came along and sweet-talked him into going home to rest.

Unfortunately, Sam later barged in on his dad the Gaffer, telling him all about the (for Sam) wonderful things that had transpired during the Gaffer's nap, which only confused the Gaffer, being far beyond his very limited-to-the-Shire (actually Hobbiton) experience, and simply gave him a serious headache.

Fortunately, Rosie was in good humour which banished Sam's bad humour.

Unfortunately, Rosie's banishing Sam's bad humor did exactly zilch in relieving the Gaffer's migraine.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the Gaffer's "migraine" was caused simply by having handed over his duties to his son Sam, and was thus not really curable.

Fortunately, Sam asked his father to resume caring for the gardens at Bag End, while he and Rosie were on their honeymoon, which miraculously cured his 'migraine'.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer then noticed that his creaking joints were definitely slowing him down, so the scope of his gardening was much less than he had imagined he could still do.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer interpreted this as a lack of attention and appreciation, and thus launched into some counterproductive use of sharp tools from the shed.

Fortunately, by doing so, he knocked down a shed Bilbo was planning on getting rid of.

Unfortunately, it was the shed that the tools were stored in, for which the replacement had not been built yet.

Fortunately, a bunch of dwarves happened by and they quickly built Bilbo a new shed.

Unfortunately, they forget to put a door in the shed, so it was no use anyway.
If anyone had happened to look out of a window on the east side of the palace, they might have noticed two figures in the darkness, dancing in a square bordered by living plants, out of time with the dancers inside but perfectly in time with each other.

Unfortunately, the shed being of no practical use without a door, the Gaffer's non-sheltered tools started rusting, which unsurprisingly did absolutely nothing to improve his already inflamed temper.

Fortunately, the Dwarves built a sturdy, small, stone building with a slate roof to house his tools ... and, they made him a new set of tools to compensate for the missing door on the other building.

Unfortunately the Gaffer, always curmudgeonly, was quite suspicious about what he called "them newfangled longbeard toys," and only slightly warmed up to them through Sam's tireless teaching efforts.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer mistook a small rake for a comb and tried to use it on the odd Dwarf's beard.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer then thought he could use the garden shears in the same fashion.

If you want to switch positions, Gando, just do another 'Fortunately' after mine.

Fortunately, the Dwarves had left before he could take action.

At present, I can just think of too much "unfortunately" with the lovable curmudgeon.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer then thought that the garden shears might be helpful in dealing with his ingrown toenail on his right big toe.

Fortunately, he missed amputating the offending digit when the shears slipped.

Unfortunately, the slipping shears decapitated the Gaffer's prized sunflower, which fact, for what it's worth, instantly made him forget his unremediated ingrown toenail.

Unfortunately, the birds who had eaten the sunflower seed flew off to other places to deposit the then-fertilized seeds.

Unfortunately, the birds were not as fastidious as the Gaffer would have wished as to where they "planted" the sunflower seeds, upsetting the Gaffer when some of the sunflowers sprouted all over the lawn.
