Question

Time wore on, but it seemed to have little effect on Mr.
Baggins. At ninety-nine they began to call him well-
preserved; but unchanged would have been nearer the
mark. There were some that shook their heads and
thought this was too much of a good thing; it seemed
unfair that anyone should possess (apparently) perpetual
youth as well as (reputedly) inexhaustible wealth.
- The Fellowship of the Ring,
J.R.R. Tolkien
