This statement exemplifies how well Gandalf can inject humor and deflection into any situation. When he is indirectly accused of being present at the hobbits' mischief, at Bilbo's party, with their fireworks in The Fellowship of the Ring, his words reveal much more about his playful side and the ability to create a lighthearted atmosphere amid dire circumstances. The above quote is said by Gandalf in a cheeky voice, dampening any accusations aimed in his direction in a lightly humorous manner.
