At

that

moment

there

came

a

knock

at

the

door

.

Mr.

Butterbur

had

arrived

with

candles

,

and

behind

him

was

Nob

with

cans

of

hot

water

.

Strider

withdrew

into

a

dark

corner

.

'

I

've

come

to

bid

you

good

night

,

'

said

the

landlord

,

putting

the

candles

on

the

table

.

'

Nob

!

Take

the

water

to

the

rooms

!

'

He

came

in

and

shut

the

door

.

'

It

's

like

this

,

'

he

began

,

hesitating

and

looking

troubled

.

'

If

I

've

done

any

harm

,

I

'm

sorry

indeed

.

But

one

thing

drives

out

another

,

as

you

'll

admit

;

and

I

'm

a

busy

man

.

But

first

one

thing

and

then

another

this

week

have

jogged

my

memory

,

as

the

saying

goes

;

and

not

too

late

I

hope

.

You

see

,

I

was

asked

to

look

out

for

hobbits

of

the

Shire

,

and

for

one

by

the

name

of

Baggins

in

particular

.

'

'

And

what

has

that

got

to

do

with

me

?

'

asked

Frodo

.

'

Ah

!

you

know

best

,

'

said

the

landlord

,

knowingly

.

'

I

wo

n't

give

you

away

;

but

I

was

told

that

this

Baggins

would

be

going

by

the

name

of

Underhill

,

and

I

was

given

a

description

that

fits

you

well

enough

,

if

I

may

say

so

.

'

'

Indeed

!

Let

's

have

it

then

!

'

said

Frodo

,

unwisely

interrupting

.

'

A

stout

little

fellow

with

red

cheeks

,

'

said

Mr.

Butterbur

solemnly

.

Pippin

chuckled

,

but

Sam

looked

indignant

.

'

That

wo

n't

help

you

much

;

it

goes

for

most

hobbits

,

Barley

,

he

says

to

me

,

'

continued

Mr.

Butterbur

with

a

glance

at

Pippin

.

'

But

this

one

is

taller

than

some

and

fairer

than

most

,

and

he

has

a

cleft

in

his

chin

:

perky

chap

with

a

bright

eye

.

Begging

your

pardon

,

but

he

said

it

,

not

me

.

'

'

He

said

it

?

And

who

was

he

?

'

asked

Frodo

eagerly

.

'

Ah

!

That

was

Gandalf

,

if

you

know

who

I

mean

.

A

wizard

they

say

he

is

,

but

he

's

a

good

friend

of

mine

,

whether

or

no

.

But

now

I

do

n't

know

what

he

'll

have

to

say

to

me

,

if

I

see

him

again

:

turn

all

my

ale

sour

or

me

into

a

block

of

wood

,

I

should

n't

wonder

.

He

's

a

bit

hasty

.

Still

what

's

done

ca

n't

be

undone

.
