One voice was certainly the old Gaffer’s; the other was strange, and somehow unpleasant. He could not make out what it said, but he heard the Gaffer’s and Sam strapped up their three packs and piled them in the porch. Pippin went out for a last stroll in the . Sam disappeared.The sun went down. Bag End seemed sad and gloomy and dishevelled. Frodo wandered round the familiar rooms, and saw the light of the sunset fade on the walls, and shadows creep out of the corners. It grew slowly dark indoors. He went out and walked down to the gate at the bottom of the path, and then on a short way down the Hill Road. He half expected to see Gandalf come striding up through the dusk.The sky was clear and the stars were growing bright. ‘It’s going to be a fine night,’ he said aloud. ‘That’s good for a beginning. I feel like walking. I can’t bear any more hanging about. I am going to start, and Gandalf must

On every item there was a label tied. There were several labels of this sort:For ADELARD TOOK, for his VERY OWN, from Bilbo, on an umbrella.

"What request could a Death Eater make of me?" "The – the prophecy…the prediction…Trelawney…" "Ah, yes," said Dumbledore. "How much did you relay to Lord Voldemort?"
"No – no message – I'm here on my own account!"
Snape was wringing his hands. He looked a little mad, with his straggling black hair flying around him.
