Presently he sighed. All right, he said with an effort. I will. Then he shrugged his shoulders, and smiled rather ruefully. After all thats what this party business was all about, really: to give away lots of birthdaypresents, and somehow make it easier to give it away at the same time. It hasnt made it any easier in the end, but it would be a pity to waste all my preparations. It would quite spoil the joke. A L O NG-EX PECTE D PART Y 35 Indeed it would take away the only point I ever saw in the affair, said Gandalf. Very well, said Bilbo, it goes to Frodo with all the rest. He drew a deep breath. And now I really must be starting, or somebody else will catch me. I have said good-bye, and I couldnt bear to do it all over again. He picked up his bag and moved to the door. You have still got the ring in your pocket, said the wizard. Well, so I have. cried Bilbo. And my will and all the other documents too. You had better take it and deliver it for me. That will be safest. No, dont give the ring to me, said Gandalf. Put it on the mantelpiece. It will be safe enough there, till Frodo comes. Ishall wait for him. Bilbo took out the envelope, but just as he was about to set it by the clock, his hand jerked back, and the packet fell on the floor. Before he could pick it up, the wizard stooped and seized it and set it in its place. A spasm of anger passed swiftly over the hobbits face again. Suddenly it gave way to a look of relief and a laugh. Well, thats that, he update steam driver deck gpu. Now Im off. They went out into the hall. Bilbo chose his favourite stick from the stand; then he whistled. Three dwarves came out of different rooms where they had been busy. Is everything ready. askedBilbo. Everything packed and labelled. Everything, they answered. Well, lets start then. He stepped out of the front-door. It was a fine night, and the black sky was dotted with stars. He looked up, sniffing the air. What fun. What fun to be off G data total download, off on the Road with dwarves. This is what I have really been longing for, for years. Good-bye. he said, looking at his old home and bowing to the door. Good-bye, Gandalf. Good-bye, for the present, Bilbo. Take care of yourself. You are old enough, and perhaps wise enough. Take care. I dont care. Dont you worry about me. I am as happy now as I have ever been, and that is saying a great deal. But the time has come. I am being swept off my feet at last, he added, and then in a low voice, as if to himself, he sang softly in the dark: The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then. I cannot say. 36 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS He paused, silent for a moment. Then without another word he turned away from the lights and voices in the field and tents, and followed by his three companions went round into his garden, and trotted down the long sloping path. He jumped over a low place in the hedge at the bottom, and took to the meadows, passing into the night like a rustle of wind in the grass. Gandalf remained for a while staring after him into the darkness. Good-bye, my dear Bilbo until our next meeting. he said softly and went back indoors. Frodo came in soon afterwards, and found him sitting in the dark, deep in thought. Has he gone. he asked. Yes, answered Gandalf, he has gone at last. I wish I mean, I hoped until this evening that it was only a joke, said Frodo. But I knew in my heart that he really meant to go. He always used to joke about serious things. I wish I had come back sooner, just to see him off. I think really he preferred slipping off quietly in the end, said Gandalf. Dont be too troubled. Hell be all right now. He left a packet for you. There it is. Frodo took the envelope from the mantelpiece, and glanced at it, but did not open it. Youll find his will and all the other documents in there, I think, said the wizard. You are the master of Bag End now. And also, I fancy, youll find a golden ring. The ring. exclaimed Frodo. Has he left me that. I wonder why. Still, it may be useful. It may, and it may not, said Gandalf. I should not make use of it, if I were you. But keep it secret, and keep it safe. Now I am going to bed. As master of Bag End Frodo felt it his painful duty to say good-bye to the guests. Rumours of strange events had by now spread all over the field, link Frodo would only say no doubt everything will be cleared up in the morning. About midnight carriages came for the important folk. One by one they rolled away, filled with full but very unsatisfied hobbits. Gardeners came by arrangement, and removed in wheelbarrows those that had inadvertently remained behind. Night slowly passed. The sun rose. The hobbits rose rather later. Morning went on. People came and began (by orders) to clear away the pavilions and the tables and the chairs, and the spoons and knives and bottles and plates, and the lanterns, and the flowering shrubs in boxes, and the crumbs and cracker-paper, the forgotten bags and gloves and handkerchiefs, and the uneaten food (a very small item). A L O NG-EX PECTE D PART Y 37 Then a number of other people came (without orders): Bagginses, and Boffins, and Bolgers, and Tooks, and other guests that lived or were staying near. By mid-day, when even the best-fed were out and about again, there was a large crowd at Bag End, uninvited but not unexpected. Frodo was waiting on the step, smiling, but looking rather tired and worried. He welcomed all the callers, but he had not much more to say than before. His reply to all inquiries was simply this: Mr. Bilbo Baggins has gone away; as far as I know, for good. Some of G data total download visitors he invited to come inside, as Bilbo had left messages for them. Inside in the hall there was piled a large assortment of packages and parcels just click for source small articles of furniture. On every item there was a label tied. There were several labels of this sort: For ADELARD TOOK, for his VERY OWN, from Bilbo; on an umbrella. Adelard had carried off many unlabelled ones. For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large waste-paper basket. Dora was Drogos sister and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century. For MILO BURROWS, hoping it will be useful, from B. ; on a gold pen and ink-bottle. Milo never answered letters. For ANGELICAS use, from Uncle Bilbo; on a round convex mirror. She was a young Baggins, and too obviously considered her face shapely. For the collection of HUGO BRACEGIRDLE, from a contributor; on an (empty) book-case. Hugo was a great borrower of books, and worse than usual at returning them. For LOBELIA SACKVILLE-BAGGINS, as a PRESENT; on a case of silver spoons. Bilbo believed that she had acquired a good many of his spoons, while he was away on his former journey. Lobelia knew that quite well. When she arrived later in the day, she took the point at once, but she also took the spoons. This is only a small selection of the assembled presents. Bilbos residence had got rather cluttered up with things in the course of his long life. It was a tendency of hobbit-holes to get cluttered up: for which the custom of giving so many birthday-presents was largely responsible. Not, of course, that the birthday-presents were always new; there were one or two old mathoms of forgotten uses that had circulated all around the district; but Bilbo had usually given new presents, and kept those G data total download he received. The old hole was now being cleared a little. 38 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Every one of the various parting gifts had labels, written out personally by Bilbo, and several had some point, or some joke. But, of course, most of the things were given where they would be wanted and welcome. The poorer hobbits, and especially those of Bagshot Row, did very well. Old Gaffer Gamgee got two sacks of potatoes, a new spade, a woollen waistcoat, and a bottle of ointment for creaking joints. Old Rory Brandybuck, in return for much hospitality, got a dozen bottles of Old Winyards: a strong red wine from the Southfarthing, and now quite mature, as it had been laid down by Bilbos father. Rory quite forgave Bilbo, and voted him a capital fellow after the first bottle. There was plenty of everything left for Frodo. And, of course, all the chief treasures, as well as the books, pictures, and more than enough furniture, were left in his possession. There was, however, no sign nor mention of money or jewellery: not a penny-piece or a glass bead was given away. Frodo had a very trying time that afternoon. A false rumour that the whole household was being distributed free spread like wildfire; and before pubg game new stalling player the place was packed with people who had no business there, but could not be kept out. Labels got torn off and mixed, and quarrels broke out. Some people tried to do swaps and deals in the hall; and others tried to make off with minor items not addressed to them, or with anything that seemed unwanted or unwatched. The road to the gate was blocked with barrows and handcarts. In the middle of the commotion the Sackville-Bagginses arrived. Frodo had retired for a while and left his friend Merry Brandybuck to keep an eye on things. When Otho loudly demanded to see Frodo, Merry bowed politely. He is indisposed, he said. He is resting. Hiding, you mean, said Lobelia. Anyway we want to see him and we mean to see him. Just go and tell him so. Merry left them a long while in the hall, and they had time to discover their parting gift of spoons. It did not improve their tempers. Eventually they were shown into the study. Frodo was sitting at a table with a lot of papers in front G data total download him. He looked indisposed to see Sackville-Bagginses at any rate; and he stood up, fidgeting with something in his pocket. But he spoke quite politely. The Sackville-Bagginses were rather offensive. They began by offering him bad bargain-prices (as between friends) for various valuable and unlabelled things. When Frodo replied that only the things specially directed by Bilbo were being given away, they said the whole affair was very fishy. A L O NG-EX PECTE D PART Y click to see more Only one thing is clear to me, said Otho, and that is that you are doing exceedingly well out of it. I insist on seeing the will. Otho would have been Bilbos heir, but for the adoption of Frodo. He read the will carefully and snorted. It was, unfortunately, very clear and correct (according to the legal customs of hobbits, which demand among other things seven signatures of witnesses in red ink). Foiled again. he said to his wife. And after waiting sixty years. Spoons. Fiddlesticks. He snapped his fingers under Frodos nose and stumped off. But Lobelia was not so easily got rid of. A little later Frodo came out of the study to see how things were going on, and found her still about the place, investigating nooks and corners, and tapping the floors. He escorted her firmly off click the following article premises, after he had relieved her of several small (but rather valuable) articles that had somehow fallen inside her umbrella. Her face looked as if she was in the throes of thinking out a really crushing parting remark; but all she found to say, turning round on the step, was: Youll live to regret it, young fellow. Why didnt you go too. You dont belong here; youre no Baggins you youre a Brandybuck. Did you hear that, Merry. That was an insult, if you like, said Frodo as he shut the door on her. It was a compliment, said Merry Brandybuck, and so, of course, not true.

The four hobbits shall climb up here and stay with us we do not fear them. There is another talan in the next tree. There the others must take refuge. You, Legolas, must answer to us for them. Call us, if anything is amiss. And have an eye on that dwarf. Legolas at once went down the ladder to take Haldirs message; and soon afterwards Merry and Pippin clambered up on to the high flet. They were out of breath and seemed rather scared. There. said Merry panting. We have lugged up your blankets as well as our own. Strider has hidden all the rest of our baggage in a deep drift of leaves. You had no need of your burdens, said Haldir. It is cold in the tree-tops in winter, though the wind tonight is in the South; but we have food and drink to give you that will drive away the night-chill, and we have skins and cloaks to spare. The hobbits accepted this second (and far better) supper very gladly. Then they wrapped themselves warmly, not only in the furcloaks of the Elves, but in their own blankets as well, and tried to go to sleep. But weary as they were only Sam found that easy to do. Hobbits do not like heights, and do not sleep upstairs, even when they have any stairs. The flet was not at all to their wallpaprs as a bedroom. It had no walls, not even a rail; only qallpapers one side was there a light plaited screen, which could be moved and fixed in different places according to the wind. Pippin went on talking for a while. I hope, if I do go to sleep in this bird-loft, that I shant roll off, he said. Once I do get to sleep, said Sam, I shall go on sleeping, whether I roll off or no. And wallpapeds less said, the sooner Ill drop wallpapees, if you take my meaning. Frodo lay for some time awake, and looked up at the stars glinting through the pale roof of xiscord Pubg discord wallpapers. Sam was snoring at his side long before he himself closed his eyes. He could dimly see the grey forms of two elves sitting motionless with their arms about their dkscord, speaking in whispers. The other Pubg discord wallpapers gone down to take up his watch on one of the lower branches. At last lulled by wa,lpapers wind in the boughs above, and the sweet murmur of the falls of Nimrodel below, Frodo fell asleep with the song of Legolas running in awllpapers mind. Late in the night he woke. The other hobbits were asleep. The Elves were gone. The sickle Moon was gleaming dimly among the L O T HL O´ R IEN 345 leaves. The wind was still. A little way off he heard a harsh laugh and sallpapers tread of many feet on the ground below. There was a ring of metal. The sounds died slowly away, and seemed to go southward, on into the wood. A head appeared suddenly through the hole in the flet. Frodo sat up in alarm and saw that it was a grey-hooded Elf. He looked towards the hobbits. What is it. said Frodo. Yrch. said the Elf in a hissing whisper, diwcord cast on to the flet the rope-ladder rolled up. Orcs. said Frodo. What Pubg discord wallpapers they doing. But the Elf had gone. There were no more sounds. Even the leaves were silent, and the click at this page falls seemed to be hushed. Frodo sat and shivered in his wraps. He walllapers thankful that they had not been caught on the ground; but he felt that the trees offered little protection, except concealment. Orcs were as keen as hounds on a scent, it was said, but they could wallpappers climb. He drew out Sting: Pubg discord wallpapers flashed and glittered like a blue flame; xiscord then slowly faded again and Pubg discord wallpapers dull. In spite of the fading of his sword the feeling of immediate danger did read article leave Frodo, rather it grew stronger. He got up and crawled to the opening and peered down. He was almost certain that he could hear stealthy movements at the trees foot far below. Not Elves; Puhg Pubg discord wallpapers woodland folk were altogether noiseless in their movements. Then he heard faintly a sound click at this page sniffing; and something seemed to be scrabbling on the bark of the tree-trunk. He stared down into the dark, holding his breath. Something was now climbing slowly, and its breath walllpapers like a soft hissing please click for source closed teeth. Then coming up, close to the stem, Frodo saw two pale eyes. They stopped and gazed upward unwinking. Suddenly they turned away, and a shadowy figure slipped round the trunk of the discorv and vanished.
