Belle heard Bilbo tell everyone how to prepare for the party.She had been at Uncle Bilbo's two days before the guests had arrived.Her parents were taking a long visit to Tookborough to see relitives,and her brothers and sisters were staying at friends and other relitives houses.She had been thrilled with the idea of getting to stay with Bilbo and Frodo,but just then she felt left out.She listened,but wasn't given a specific assighnment like the one Sam,Elanor and Cami were told,she didn't like the idea of minding them."I hate being little" she thought,"Frodo would love this"she smiled,feeling her mean streak,or "Tookishness"as many called it,hit."I should just tell him"she thought,"I should ruin it for them".
She stuck her tongue out at Cami,who was,as usual,arguing with Sam and thought,"see if I help you,hair-puller".
Cami gave her a stern look."If I didn't know you any better,I'd think your up to something""You'd better mind us and not tell Frodo"Sam added,"I know your a gossip,don't get near him or I-I'll lock you in the closet!".
