Primrose Tussock stepped forward. "I will go as well," she said. "I can't think of anything more exciting in my life at the moment than planning a surprise party for Frodo."

Bilbo nodded down at her. "Thank you, Primrose," he said. "We will most certainly need the help of you and your sturdy pony. That goes for you as well, Olo," he added.

"Excluding the pony," said Primrose with a grin. She looked over at the children and walked over to them. She'd always loved children, and since she didn't have little brother or sister, she was always trying to talk to any younger children she could find. But as she opened her mouth to speak, Bilbo called her name.

"Primrose, I want a word with you in private later," he said.

"Yes, sir," said Primrose with an inward sigh. Looking once again at the younger hobbits, she saw they were engaged in their own conversation. This time she sighed aloud as she sat down once again.

"Will anyone else help me along with Olo and Primrose?" asked Bilbo, looking around the room.
