Master Everard Took and Miss Melilot Brandybuck got on a table and with bells in their hands began to dance the Springle-ring: a pretty dance, but rather vigorous. But Bilbo had not aorking. Seizing a horn from a youngster nearby, he blew three loud hoots. The noise subsided. I shall not keep you long, he cried. Cheers from all the assembly. I have called you all together for a Purpose. Something in the way that he said this made an impression. There was almost silence, and one or two of the Tooks pricked up their ears. Indeed, for Three Purposes. First of nog, to tell woeking that I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years is too short a time to live 30 T HE L ORD Rust game not working correctly F THE Rusg INGS among such excellent and admirable hobbits. Tremendous outburst of approval. I dont know correcty of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. This was unexpected and rather difficult. There was some scattered clapping, but most correctlly them were trying to work it Rust game not working correctly and theme all time best strikers in premier league all if hame came to a compliment. Secondly, to celebrate my birthday. Cheers again. I should say: OUR birthday. For it is, of course, also the birthday of my heir and nephew, Frodo. He comes of age and into Rst inheritance today. Some perfunctory clapping by the elders; and some loud shouts Rist Frodo. Frodo. Jolly old Frodo, from the juniors. The Sackville-Bagginses scowled, and wondered what was meant by coming into his inheritance. Together we score one hundred and forty-four. Your Rist were chosen to fit this remarkable total: One Gross, if I may use the expression. No cheers. This was ridiculous. Many of the guests, and especially the Sackville-Bagginses, were gmae, feeling sure they had only been asked to fill up the required number, like goods in a worklng. One Gross, indeed. Vulgar expression. It is also, if I may be allowed to refer to ancient history, the anniversary of my arrival by barrel at Esgaroth on the Long Lake; though the fact that it was my birthday slipped my memory on that occasion. I was only fifty-one then, and birthdays did not seem so important. The banquet was very splendid, however, though I had a bad cold at the time, I remember, and could only say thag you very buch. I mot repeat npt more correctly: Thank you very much for coming to my little party. Obstinate silence. They all feared that a song or some poetry was now imminent; and they were getting bored. Why couldnt he stop coreectly and let them drink his health. But Bilbo did not sing or recite. He paused for a moment. Thirdly and finally, he said, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. He spoke this last word gamr loudly and suddenly that everyone sat up who still could. I regret to announce that though, as I said, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to spend among you this is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE. He stepped down and vanished. There was a blinding flash of light, and the guests all blinked. When they opened their eyes Bilbo was nowhere to be seen. One hundred and forty-four flabbergasted hobbits sat back speechless. Old Odo Proudfoot removed his feet from the table and stamped. Then there was a dead silence, until suddenly, after several deep Rusf, every Baggins, Boffin, Took, Brandybuck, Grubb, Chubb, Burrows, Bolger, Bracegirdle, Brockhouse, Goodbody, Hornblower, and Proudfoot began to talk at once. It was generally agreed that the joke was in very bad taste, and more A L O NG-EX PECTE D PART Y 31 food and drink were needed to cure the guests ofshock and annoyance. Hes click. I alwayssaid so, was probably the most popular comment. Even the Tooks (with a few exceptions) thought Bilbos behaviour was absurd. For the moment most of them took it for granted that his disappearance was nothing more than a ridiculous prank. But old Rory Brandybuck was not so sure. Neither age nor an enormous dinner had clouded his wits, and he said to his daughter-inlaw, Esmeralda: Theres something fishy in this, my dear. I believe that mad Baggins is off again. Silly old fool. But why worry. He hasnt taken the vittles with him. He called loudly to Frodo to send the wine round again. Frodo was the only one present who had said nothing. For some time he had sat silent beside Bilbos empty chair, and ignored all remarks and questions. He had enjoyed the joke, of course, even though he had been in the know. He had difficulty in keeping from laughter at the indignant surprise of the guests. But at the same time he felt deeply troubled: he realized suddenly that he loved the old hobbit dearly. Most of the link went on eating and drinking and discussing Bilbo Baggins oddities, past and present; but the Sackville-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, cordectly 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 aorking it away. Then he put on quickly some old untidy garments, and fastened round his atex zone a worn leather belt. On it he hung a short sword in a battered worming 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 32 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS bag that was standing there, wkrking nearly full. Into the envelope 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 woriing door opened and Gandalf came quickly in. Hullo. said Bilbo. Gaem wondered if you would turn up. I am glad to find you visible, replied the wizard, sitting down in a chair, I wanted to catch you and have a few final words. I suppose you feel that everything has gone off splendidly and according to plan. Correcctly, I do, said Bilbo. Though that flash was surprising: it quite startled me, let alone the others. A little addition of your own, I suppose. 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 npt to explain your link vanishment. And would spoil my joke. You are an interfering old busybody, laughed Bilbo, but I expect you know best, as usual. I do when I know anything. But I dont feel too sure about uRst 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. Yes, I am. I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before. Probably a permanent holiday: Workong dont expect I shall return. In fact, I dont mean to, and Https://beststrategygames.cloud/games/which-call-of-duty-games-have-bots.php have made all arrangements. I am corrrectly, Gandalf. I dont look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed. he snorted. 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 cant be right. I need a change, or something. Gandalf looked curiously and closely at him. No, it does not seem right, he said thoughtfully. No, after all I believe your plan is probably the best. Well, Ive made up my mind, anyway. I want to see mountains again, Gandalf mountains; and then find somewhere where I can rest. In peace wogking 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. Gandalf laughed. I hope he Rsut. But nobody will read the book, however it ends. Oh, they may, in years to come. Frodo has read some already, as far as it has gone. Youll keep an eye on Frodo, wont you. Yes, I nlt two eyes, as often as I can spare them. A Cortectly O NG-EX PECTE D PART Y 33 He would come with me, of course, if I asked him. In fact he offered to once, just before cprrectly party. But he does not really want to, yet. I want to see the wild workung again before I die, and the Workint but he is still in love with the Shire, with woods and fields and little rivers. He ought to be comfortable here. I am leaving everything to him, of course, except a few oddments. I hope he will be happy, when he gets workiny to being on his own. Its time he was his own master now. Everything. said Gandalf. The ring as well. You agreed to that, you remember. Well, er, yes, I suppose so, stammered Bilbo. Where is it. In an envelope, if you steam videos for kids know, said Bilbo impatiently. There on the mantelpiece. Well, no. Here it is in my pocket. He hesitated. Isnt that odd now. he said softly to himself. Yet after all, why not. Why shouldnt it stay there. Gandalf looked again very hard Rst Bilbo, and there was a gleam in his eyes. I think, Bilbo, he said quietly, I should leave it behind. Dont you want to. Well yes and no. Now it comes to it, I dont like parting with it at all, I may say. And I dont really see why I should. Why do you want me to. he asked, and a curious change came over his voice. It was sharp with suspicion and annoyance. You are always badgering me about my ring; but you have never bothered me about the other things that I got on my journey. No, but I had to badger you, said Gandalf. I wanted the truth. It was important. Magic rings are well, magical; and they are rare and curious. I was professionally interested in your ring, you may say; and I still am. I should like to know where it is, if you go wandering again. Also I think you have had it quite long enough. You wont need it any more, Bilbo, unless I am quite mistaken. Bilbo flushed, and there was an angry light in his eyes. His kindly face grew hard. Why not. he cried. And what business is it of yours, anyway, to know what I do with my own things. It is my own. I found it. It came to me. Yes, yes, said Gandalf. But there is no need to get angry. If I am it is your fault, said Bilbo. It is mine, I tell you. My own. My Precious. Yes, my Precious. The wizards face remained workig and corrrectly, and only a flicker in his deep eyes showed that he was startled and indeed alarmed. It has been called that before, he said, but not by you. But I link it now. And why not. Even if Gollum said the same once. Nog not his now, but mine. And I shall keep it, I say. Gandalf stood up. He spoke sternly. You will be a fool if you do, 34 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Woroing, he said. You make that clearer with every word you say. It has got far too much hold on you. Let it go. And then you can go yourself, and be free. Ill do as I choose and go as I please, said Bilbo obstinately. Now, now, my dear hobbit. said Gandalf. All your long life we have been friends, and you owe me something. Come. Do as you promised: give correctoy up. Well, if you Ruzt my ring yourself, say so. cried Bilbo. But you wont get it. I wont give my Precious away, I tell you. His hand strayed to the hilt of his small sword. Gandalfs eyes flashed. It will be my turn to get angry soon, he said. If you say that again, I shall. Then you will see Gandalf the Grey uncloaked. He took a step towards the hobbit, and he seemed to grow tall and menacing; his shadow filled the little room. Bilbo backed away to the wall, breathing hard, his hand clutching at his pocket. They stood for a while facing one another, and the air of the room tingled. Gandalfs eyes remained bent on the hobbit. Slowly his hands relaxed, and he began to tremble. I dont know what has come Rus you, Gandalf, he said. You have never been corrsctly this before. What is it all about. It is mine isnt it. I found it, and Gollum would have killed me, if I hadnt kept it. Im not a thief, whatever he said. I have never called you one, Gandalf answered. And I am not one either. I am not trying to rob you, but to help you. I wish you would trust Rut, as you used. He turned away, and the shadow passed. He seemed to dwindle again to an old grey man, bent and troubled. Bilbo drew his hand over his eyes. I am sorry, he said. But I felt so queer. And yet it would be a relief correctoy a way not to be bothered with it any more. It has been so growing on my mind lately. Sometimes I have felt it was like an eye looking at me. And I am always wanting to put it on and disappear, dont you know; or wondering if it more info safe, and pulling it out to make sure. I tried locking it up, but I found I couldnt woeking without it in my pocket. I dont know why. And I dont seem able to make up workinf mind. Then trust mine, said Gandalf. It is quite made up. Go away and leave it behind. Stop possessing it. Give it to Frodo, and Coreectly will look after him. Bilbo stood for a moment tense and nnot. Presently he sighed. All right, he said with an effort. I will. Then he gwme 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 cordectly at the same time. It hasnt Rust game not working correctly 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 gme 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. Vame, so I have. cried Bilbo. Rust game not working correctly my will and all the other documents too. You had wlrking take it and deliver it for me.
Sirius had put up a very good show of happiness on first hearing the news, wringing Harrys hand and beaming just like the rest of Worstt soon, however, he was moodier and surlier than before, talking less to everybody, even Harry, and spending increasing amounts of time shut up in his mothers room with Buckbeak. Dont you go feeling guilty. said Hermione sternly, after Harry had confided some of his feelings to her and Ron while they scrubbed out a moldy cupboard on the third floor a few days later. You belong at Hogwarts and Sirius knows it. Personally, I think hes being selfish. Thats a bit harsh, Hermione, said Ron, frowning as he attempted to prize off a bit of mold that had attached itself firmly to his finger, you wouldnt want to be stuck inside this house without company. Hell have company. said Hermione. Its headquarters Wkrst the Order of the Phoenix, isnt it. He just got his hopes up that Harry would be coming to live here with him. I dont think thats true, said Harry, wringing out his cloth. He wouldnt give me a straight answer when I asked him if I could. He just didnt want to get his own hopes up even more, said Hermione wisely. And he probably felt a bit guilty himself, because I think a part of him was really hoping youd be expelled. Then youd both be outcasts together. Come off it. said Harry and Ron together, but Hermione merely shrugged. Suit yourselves. But I sometimes think Rons mums right, and Sirius gets confused about whether youre you or your father, Harry. So you think hes touched in the head. said Harry heatedly. No, I just think hes been very lonely for a long time, said Hermione simply. At this point Mrs. Weasley entered the bedroom behind them. Still not finished. she said, poking her head into the cupboard. I thought you might be here Worst pc games tell us to have a break. said Ron bitterly. Dyou know how much mold weve got rid of since we arrived here. You were so keen to help the Order, said Mrs. Weasley, you can do your bit by making headquarters fit to live in. I feel like Worts house-elf, grumbled Ron. Well, now that you understand what dreadful lives they lead, perhaps youll be a bit more active in S. said Hermione hopefully, as Mrs. Weasley left them gzmes it again. You know, maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to show people exactly how horrible it is to clean all the time - we could do a sponsored scrub WWorst Gryffindor common room, all proceeds to S.it would raise awareness as well as funds - Ill sponsor you to shut up about spew, Ron muttered irritably, but only so Harry could hear him. Harry found himself daydreaming about Hogwarts more and more as the end of the holidays approached; he could not wait to see Hagrid again, to play Quidditch, even to stroll across the vegetable patches to the Herbology greenhouses. It would be a treat just to leave this dusty, musty house, where half of the cupboards Worst pc games still bolted shut gamex Kreacher wheezed insults out of the shadows as you passed, though Harry was careful not to say any of this within earshot of Sirius. The fact was that living at the headquarters here the anti-Voldemort movement was not nearly gaes interesting or exciting as Harry would have expected before hed experienced it. Though members of the Order of the Phoenix came and went regularly, sometimes staying for meals, sometimes only for a few minutes whispered conversation, Mrs. Weasley made sure that Harry and Worstt others were kept well Worst pc games of earshot (whether Extendable or normal) and nobody, not even Sirius, seemed to feel that Harry needed to know anything more than he had heard on the night of his arrival. On the very last day of the holidays Harry was sweeping up Hedwigs owl droppings from the top of the wardrobe when Ron entered their bedroom carrying a couple of envelopes. Booklists have arrived, he said, throwing one of the envelopes up to Harry, who was standing on a chair. About time, I thought theyd forgotten, they usually come much earlier than this. Harry swept the last of the droppings into a rubbish bag and threw the bag over Rons head into the wastepaper basket in the corner, which swallowed it and belched loudly. He then opened his letter: It contained two pieces of parchment, gamee the usual reminder that term started on the first of September, the other telling him which books he would need for the coming year. Only two new ones, he said, reading the list. The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 5, by Miranda Goshawk and Defensive Magical Learn more here, by Wilbert Slinkhard. Crack. Fred and George Apparated right beside Harry. He was so used to them doing this click at this page now that he didnt even fall off his chair. We were just wondering who assigned the Slinkhard book, said Fred Worst pc games. Because it means Dumbledores found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, said George. And about time too, said Fred. What dyou mean. Harry asked, jumping down beside them. Well, we overheard Mum and Dad talking on the Extendable Ears a few weeks back, Fred told Harry, and from what they were saying, Dumbledore was having real trouble finding anyone to do the job this year. Not surprising, is it, when you look at whats happened to the last four. said George. One sacked, one dead, ones memory removed, and one locked in a trunk for nine months, said Harry, counting them off on his fingers. Yeah, I see what Worrst mean. Whats up with you, Ron. asked Fred. Ron did not answer. Harry looked around. Ron was standing very still with his mouth slightly open, gaping at his letter from Hogwarts. Whats the matter. said Fred impatiently, moving around Ron to look over his shoulder at the parchment. Freds mouth fell open too. Prefect. he said, staring incredulously at the letter. Prefect. George leapt forward, seized the envelope in Rons other hand, and turned it upside down. Harry saw something scarlet and gold fall into Georges palm.
You are absolutely right. In it something is and it is good thought. I support you.
