Marigold was sitting down thinking about today's strange events. Mr Bilbo was telling them all a story but she really wasn't listening. At that moment she could Frodo coming back up the path, loaded with parcels and packages that Mr Bilbo ahd told him to get.
Earilier on Cami had told them her plan to stop Marigold blabbing.

We'll all creep down to the village barrows in the middle of the night. Then Marigold will swear a solemn oath on the bones of our ancestors that she won't ever blab to anyone. And if she breaks that promise, then the ghosts can come and carry her away. That's the only way I'll trust her enough to share our secrets with her

There's been tales of the downs at night, it was definitely a creepy place and she was a little frightened at the thought of it at first but she put on a brave face and and replied "Fine, I'll be there".
They're trying to scare me off!she thought to herself
As if I'd pass up on this, even if I have to swear on my ancestors and risk being hunt down by ghosts. She was determined to be a part of this secret mission, whatever it was. For once she wasn't going to be left out.
Even though the fear of the village downs was still in the back of her mind, she also had a growing sense of anticipation.
Whatever's going on, its got to be pretty important for them to want me to take such a strong oath She couldn't help feeling excited, she would be the youngest hobbit who knew about this and she couldn't wait.
