rose. People came to clear away the pavilions and the tables and
the chairs and the lanterns and the flowering trees in boxes, and
the spoons and knives and plates and forks, and crumbs, and the
uneaten food - a very small parcel. Lots of other people came too.
Bagginses and Sackville-Bagginses and Tooks, and people with
even less business. By the middle of the morning (when even the
best-fed were out and about again) there was quite a crowd at
Bag-end, uninvited but not unexpected. ENTER was painted on a
large white board outside the great front-door. The door was
open. On everything inside there was a label tied. 'For Mungo
Took, with love from Bilbo'; 'For Semolina Baggins, with love
from her nephew', on a waste-paper basket - she had written him a
deal of letters (mostly of good advice). 'For Caramella Took, with
kind remembrances from her uncle', on a clock in the hall.
Though unpunctual she had been a niece he rather liked, until
coming late one day to tea she had declared his clock was fast.
Bilbo's clocks were never either slow or fast, and he did not forget
it. 'For Obo Took- Took, from his great-nephew', on a feather
bed; Obo was seldom awake before i a noon or after tea, and
snored. 'For Gorboduc Grubb with best wishes from B. Baggins'
-on a gold fountain-pen; he never answered letters. 'For Angelica's
use' on a mirror - she was a young Baggins and thought herself
very comely.(4) 'For Inigo Grubb-Took', on a complete dinner-
service - he was the greediest hobbit known to history. 'For

Amalda Sackville-Baggins as a present', on a case of silver spoons.
She was the wife of Bilbo's cousin, the one he had discovered years
ago on his return measuring his dining-room (you may remember
his suspicions about disappearing spoons: anyway neither he nor
Amalda had forgotten).(5)
Of course there were a thousand and one things in Bilbo's
house, and all had labels- most of them with some point (which
sank in after a time). The whole house-furniture was disposed of,
but not a penny piece of money, nor a brass ring of jewelry, was to
be found. Amalda was the only Sackville-Baggins remembered
with a label - but then there was a notice in the hall saying that Mr
Bilbo Baggins made over the desirable property or dwelling-hole
known as Bag-end Underhill together with all lands thereto
belonging or annexed to Sago Sackville-Baggins and his wife
Amalda for them to have hold possess occupy or otherwise dispose
of at their pleasure and discretion as from September 22nd next. It
was then September 21st (Bilbo's birthday being on the 20th of
that pleasant month). So the Sackville-Bagginses did live in Bag-
end after all - though they had had to wait some twenty years. And
they had a great deal of difficulty too getting all the labelled stuff
out - labels got torn and mixed, and people tried to do swaps in the
hall, and some tried to make off with stuff that was [not] being
carefully watched; and various prying folk began knocking holes
in walls and burrowing in cellars before they could be ejected.
They were still worrying about the money and the jewelry. How
