Bagginses had already departed in wrath. Frodo did not want

to have any more to do with the party. He gave orders for

more wine to be served; then he got up and drained his own

 

glass silently to the health of Bilbo, and slipped out of the

 

pavilion.

As for Bilbo Baggins, even while he was making his speech,

he had been fingering the golden ring in his pocket: his magic

ring that he had kept secret for so many years. As he stepped

 

down he slipped it on his finger, and he was never seen by

 

any hobbit in Hobbiton again.

He walked briskly back to his hole, and stood for a moment

listening with a smile to the din in the pavilion, and to the

sounds of merrymaking in other parts of the field. Then he

 

went in. He took off his party clothes, folded up and wrapped

 

in tissue-paper his embroidered silk waistcoat, and put it

 

away. Then he put on quickly some old untidy garments,

 

and fastened round his waist a worn leather belt. On it he

 

hung a short sword in a battered black-leather scabbard.

 

From a locked drawer, smelling of moth-balls, he took

 

out an old cloak and hood. They had been locked up as if

 

they were very precious, but they were so patched and

 

weatherstained that their original colour could hardly be

 

guessed: it might have been dark green. They were rather too

 

large for him. He then went into his study, and from a large

 

strong-box took out a bundle wrapped in old cloths, and a

 

leather-bound manuscript; and also a large bulky envelope.

 

The book and bundle he stuffed into the top of a heavy bag

 

that was standing there, already nearly full. Into the enve-

 

lope he slipped his golden ring, and its fine chain, and then

 

sealed it, and addressed it to Frodo. At first he put it on the

 

mantelpiece, but suddenly he removed it and stuck it in his

 

pocket. At that moment the door opened and Gandalf came

 

quickly in.

โ€˜Hullo!โ€™ said Bilbo. โ€˜I wondered if you would turn up.โ€™

 

โ€˜I am glad to find you visible,โ€™ replied the wizard, sitting

down in a chair, โ€˜I wanted to catch you and have a few

>Lamuella is an idyllic planet on which Arthur Dent worked as a Sandwich Maker. It is home to humanoids called Lamuellans, migrating Perfectly Normal Beasts, and Pikka Birds. Arthur likes the system for the hours of the day (25, good for sleep-ins) and the days in the year (c. 300, no messing around). >>14886545

final words. I suppose you feel that everything has gone off

splendidly and according to plan?โ€™

โ€˜Yes, I do,โ€™ said Bilbo. โ€˜Though that flash was surprising:

it quite startled me, let alone the others. A little addition of

your own, I suppose?โ€™

โ€˜It was. You have wisely kept that ring secret all these years,

and it seemed to me necessary to give your guests something

else that would seem to explain your sudden vanishment.โ€™

โ€˜And would spoil my joke. You are an interfering old busy-

body,โ€™ laughed Bilbo, โ€˜but I expect you know best, as usual.โ€™

โ€˜I do โ€“ when I know anything. But I donโ€™t feel too sure

about this whole affair. It has now come to the final point.

 

You have had your joke, and alarmed or offended most of

 

your relations, and given the whole Shire something to talk

about for nine days, or ninety-nine more likely. Are you going

 

any further?โ€™

โ€˜Yes, I am. I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as

I have told you before. Probably a permanent holiday: I donโ€™t

 

expect I shall return. In fact, I donโ€™t mean to, and I have

 

made all arrangements.

โ€˜I am old, Gandalf. I donโ€™t look it, but I am beginning

to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed!โ€™ he

snorted. โ€˜Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know

what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much

 

bread. That canโ€™t be right. I need a change, or something.โ€™

Gandalf looked curiously and closely at him. โ€˜No, it does

not seem right,โ€™ he said thoughtfully. โ€˜No, after all I believe

 

your plan is probably the best.โ€™

โ€˜Well, Iโ€™ve made up my mind, anyway. I want to see moun-

tains again, Gandalf โ€“ mountains; and then find somewhere

where I can rest. In peace and quiet, without a lot of relatives

prying around, and a string of confounded visitors hanging

 

on the bell. I might find somewhere where I can finish my

 

book. I have thought of a nice ending for it: and he lived

happily ever after to the end of his days.โ€™

Gandalf laughed. โ€˜I hope he will. But nobody will read the

book, however it ends.
