On
this
occasion
the
presents
were
unusually
good
.
The
hobbit-children
were
so
excited
that
for
a
while
they
almost
forgot
about
eating
.
There
were
toys
the
like
of
which
they
had
never
seen
before
,
all
beautiful
and
some
obviously
magical
.
Many
of
them
had
indeed
been
ordered
a
year
before
,
and
had
come
all
the
way
from
the
Mountain
and
from
Dale
,
and
were
of
real
dwarf-make
.
When
every
guest
had
been
welcomed
and
was
finally
inside
the
gate
,
there
were
songs
,
dances
,
music
,
games
,
and
,
of
course
,
food
and
drink
.
There
were
three
official
meals
:
lunch
,
tea
,
and
dinner
(
or
supper
)
.
But
lunch
and
tea
were
marked
chiefly
by
the
fact
that
at
those
times
all
the
guests
were
sitting
down
and
eating
together
.
At
other
times
there
were
merely
lots
of
people
eating
and
drinking
--
continuously
from
elevenses
until
six-thirty
,
when
the
fireworks
started
.
The
fireworks
were
by
Gandalf
:
they
were
not
only
brought
by
him
,
but
designed
and
made
by
him
;
and
the
special
effects
,
set
pieces
,
and
flights
of
rockets
were
let
off
by
him
.
But
there
was
also
a
generous
distribution
of
squibs
,
crackers
,
backarappers
,
sparklers
,
torches
,
dwarf-candles
,
elf-fountains
,
goblin-barkers
and
thunder-claps
.
They
were
all
superb
.
The
art
of
Gandalf
improved
with
age
.
There
were
rockets
like
a
flight
of
scintillating
birds
singing
with
sweet
voices
.
There
were
green
trees
with
trunks
of
dark
smoke
:
their
leaves
opened
like
a
whole
spring
unfolding
in
a
moment
,
and
their
shining
branches
dropped
glowing
flowers
down
upon
the
astonished
hobbits
,
disappearing
with
a
sweet
scent
just
before
they
touched
their
upturned
faces
.
There
were
fountains
of
butterflies
that
flew
glittering
into
the
trees
;
there
were
pillars
of
coloured
fires
that
rose
and
turned
into
eagles
,
or
sailing
ships
,
or
a
phalanx
of
flying
swans
;
there
was
a
red
thunderstorm
and
a
shower
of
yellow
rain
;
there
was
a
forest
of
silver
spears
that
sprang
suddenly
into
the
air
with
a
yell
like
an
embattled
army
,
and
came
down
again
into
the
Water
with
a
hiss
like
a
hundred
hot
snakes
.
And
there
was
also
one
last
surprise
,
in
honour
of
Bilbo
,
and
it
startled
the
hobbits
exceedingly
,
as
Gandalf
intended
.
The
lights
went
out
.
A
great
smoke
went
up
.
It
shaped
itself
like
a
mountain
seen
in
the
distance
,
and
began
to
glow
at
the
summit
.
It
spouted
green
and
scarlet
flames
.
Out
flew
a
red-golden
dragon
--
not
life-size
,
but
terribly
life-like
:
fire
came
from
his
jaws
,
his
eyes
glared
down
;
there
was
a
roar
,
and
he
whizzed
three
times
over
the
heads
of
the
crowd
.
They
all
ducked
,
and
many
fell
flat
on
their
faces
.
The
dragon
passed
like
an
express
train
,
turned
a
somersault
,
and
burst
over
Bywater
with
a
deafening
explosion
.
'
That
is
the
signal
for
supper
!
'
said
Bilbo
.
The
pain
and
alarm
vanished
at
once
,
and
the
prostrate
hobbits
leaped
to
their
feet
.
There
was
a
splendid
supper
for
everyone
;
for
everyone
,
that
is
,
except
those
invited
to
the
special
family
dinner-party
.
This
was
held
in
the
great
pavilion
with
the
tree
.
The
invitations
were
limited
to
twelve
dozen
(
a
number
also
called
by
the
hobbits
one
Gross
,
though
the
word
was
not
considered
proper
to
use
of
people
)
;
and
the
guests
were
selected
from
all
the
families
to
which
Bilbo
and
Frodo
were
related
,
with
the
addition
of
a
few
special
unrelated
friends
(
such
as
Gandalf
)
.
Many
young
hobbits
were
included
,
and
present
by
parental
permission
;
for
hobbits
were
easy-going
with
their
children
in
the
matter
of
sitting
up
late
,
especially
when
there
was
a
chance
of
getting
them
a
free
meal
.
Bringing
up
young
hobbits
took
a
lot
of
provender
.
There
were
many
Bagginses
and
Boffins
,
and
also
many
Tooks
and
Brandybucks
;
there
were
various
Grubbs
(
relations
of
Bilbo
Baggins
'
grandmother
)
,
and
various
Chubbs
(
connexions
of
his
Took
grandfather
)
;
and
a
selection
of
Burrowses
,
Bolgers
,
Bracegirdles
,
Brockhouses
,
Goodbodies
,
Hornblowers
and
Proudfoots
.
Some
of
these
were
only
very
distantly
connected
with
Bilbo
,
and
some
of
them
had
hardly
ever
been
in
Hobbiton
before
,
as
they
lived
in
remote
corners
of
the
Shire
.
The
Sackville-Bagginses
were
not
forgotten
.
Otho
and
his
wife
Lobelia
were
present
.
They
disliked
Bilbo
and
detested
Frodo
,
but
so
magnificent
was
the
invitation
card
,
written
in
golden
ink
,
that
they
had
felt
it
was
impossible
to
refuse
.
Besides
,
their
cousin
,
Bilbo
,
had
been
specializing
in
food
for
many
years
and
his
table
had
a
high
reputation
.
All
the
one
hundred
and
forty-four
guests
expected
a
pleasant
feast
;
though
they
rather
dreaded
the
after-dinner
speech
of
their
host
(
an
inevitable
item
)
.
He
was
liable
to
drag
in
bits
of
what
he
called
poetry
;
and
sometimes
,
after
a
glass
or
two
,
would
allude
to
the
absurd
adventures
of
his
mysterious
journey
.
The
guests
were
not
disappointed
:
they
had
a
very
pleasant
feast
,
in
fact
an
engrossing
entertainment
:
rich
,
abundant
,
varied
,
and
prolonged
.
The
purchase
of
provisions
fell
almost
to
nothing
throughout
the
district
in
the
ensuing
weeks
;
but
as
Bilbo
's
catering
had
depleted
the
stocks
of
most
stores
,
cellars
and
warehouses
for
miles
around
,
that
did
not
matter
much
.
