The
company
was
in
the
big
common-room
of
the
inn
.
The
gathering
was
large
and
mixed
,
as
Frodo
discovered
,
when
his
eyes
got
used
to
the
light
.
This
came
chiefly
from
a
blazing
log-fire
,
for
the
three
lamps
hanging
from
the
beams
were
dim
,
and
half
veiled
in
smoke
.
Barliman
Butterbur
was
standing
near
the
fire
,
talking
to
a
couple
of
dwarves
and
one
or
two
strange-looking
men
.
On
the
benches
were
various
folk
:
men
of
Bree
,
a
collection
of
local
hobbits
(
sitting
chattering
together
)
,
a
few
more
dwarves
,
and
other
vague
figures
difficult
to
make
out
away
in
the
shadows
and
corners
.
As
soon
as
the
Shire-hobbits
entered
,
there
was
a
chorus
of
welcome
from
the
Bree-landers
.
The
strangers
,
especially
those
that
had
come
up
the
Greenway
,
stared
at
them
curiously
.
The
landlord
introduced
the
newcomers
to
the
Bree-folk
,
so
quickly
that
,
though
they
caught
many
names
,
they
were
seldom
sure
who
the
names
belonged
to
.
The
Men
of
Bree
seemed
all
to
have
rather
botanical
(
and
to
the
Shire-folk
rather
odd
)
names
,
like
Rushlight
,
Goatleaf
,
Heathertoes
,
Appledore
,
Thistlewool
and
Ferny
(
not
to
mention
Butterbur
)
.
Some
of
the
hobbits
had
similar
names
.
The
Mugworts
,
for
instance
,
seemed
numerous
.
But
most
of
them
had
natural
names
,
such
as
Banks
,
Brockhouse
,
Longholes
,
Sandheaver
,
and
Tunnelly
,
many
of
which
were
used
in
the
Shire
.
There
were
several
Underhills
from
Staddle
,
and
as
they
could
not
imagine
sharing
a
name
without
being
related
,
they
took
Frodo
to
their
hearts
as
a
long-lost
cousin
.
The
Bree-hobbits
were
,
in
fact
,
friendly
and
inquisitive
,
and
Frodo
soon
found
that
some
explanation
of
what
he
was
doing
would
have
to
be
given
.
He
gave
out
that
he
was
interested
in
history
and
geography
(
at
which
there
was
much
wagging
of
heads
,
although
neither
of
these
words
were
much
used
in
the
Bree-dialect
)
.
He
said
he
was
thinking
of
writing
a
book
(
at
which
there
was
silent
astonishment
)
,
and
that
he
and
his
friends
wanted
to
collect
information
about
hobbits
living
outside
the
Shire
,
especially
in
the
eastern
lands
.
At
this
a
chorus
of
voices
broke
out
.
If
Frodo
had
really
wanted
to
write
a
book
,
and
had
had
many
ears
,
he
would
have
learned
enough
for
several
chapters
in
a
few
minutes
.
And
if
that
was
not
enough
,
he
was
given
a
whole
list
of
names
,
beginning
with
'
Old
Barliman
here
'
,
to
whom
he
could
go
for
further
information
.
But
after
a
time
,
as
Frodo
did
not
show
any
sign
of
writing
a
book
on
the
spot
,
the
hobbits
returned
to
their
questions
about
doings
in
the
Shire
.
Frodo
did
not
prove
very
communicative
,
and
he
soon
found
himself
sitting
alone
in
a
corner
,
listening
and
looking
around
.
The
Men
and
Dwarves
were
mostly
talking
of
distant
events
and
telling
news
of
a
kind
that
was
becoming
only
too
familiar
.
There
was
trouble
away
in
the
South
,
and
it
seemed
that
the
Men
who
had
come
up
the
Greenway
were
on
the
move
,
looking
for
lands
where
they
could
find
some
peace
.
The
Bree-folk
were
sympathetic
,
but
plainly
not
very
ready
to
take
a
large
number
of
strangers
into
their
little
land
.
One
of
the
travellers
,
a
squint-eyed
ill-favoured
fellow
,
was
foretelling
that
more
and
more
people
would
be
coming
north
in
the
near
future
.
'
If
room
is
n't
found
for
them
,
they
'll
find
it
for
themselves
.
They
've
a
right
to
live
,
same
as
other
folk
,
'
he
said
loudly
.
The
local
inhabitants
did
not
look
pleased
at
the
prospect
.
The
hobbits
did
not
pay
much
attention
to
all
this
,
as
it
did
not
at
the
moment
seem
to
concern
hobbits
.
Big
Folk
could
hardly
beg
for
lodgings
in
hobbit-holes
.
They
were
more
interested
in
Sam
and
Pippin
,
who
were
now
feeling
quite
at
home
,
and
were
chatting
gaily
about
events
in
the
Shire
.
Pippin
roused
a
good
deal
of
laughter
with
an
account
of
the
collapse
of
the
roof
of
the
Town
Hole
in
Michel
Delving
:
Will
Whitfoot
,
the
Mayor
,
and
the
fattest
hobbit
in
the
Westfarthing
,
had
been
buried
in
chalk
,
and
came
out
like
a
floured
dumpling
.
But
there
were
several
questions
asked
that
made
Frodo
a
little
uneasy
.
One
of
the
Bree-landers
,
who
seemed
to
have
been
in
the
Shire
several
times
,
wanted
to
know
where
the
Underhills
lived
and
who
they
were
related
to
.
Suddenly
Frodo
noticed
that
a
strange-looking
weather-beaten
man
,
sitting
in
the
shadows
near
the
wall
,
was
also
listening
intently
to
the
hobbit-talk
.
He
had
a
tall
tankard
in
front
of
him
,
and
was
smoking
a
long-stemmed
pipe
curiously
carved
.
His
legs
were
stretched
out
before
him
,
showing
high
boots
of
supple
leather
that
fitted
him
well
,
but
had
seen
much
wear
and
were
now
caked
with
mud
.
A
travel-stained
cloak
of
heavy
dark-green
cloth
was
drawn
close
about
him
,
and
in
spite
of
the
heat
of
the
room
he
wore
a
hood
that
overshadowed
his
face
;
but
the
gleam
of
his
eyes
could
be
seen
as
he
watched
the
hobbits
.
