Now it was starting to get late.He and Biffo where walking down the street with the rest of the company.Every one had something to say to one another.He heard bits and pieces of everyones conversation.But still not enough to get a good idea of what was going on.
"Well now this is not the proper way to plan a party,now is it?We would do better to all sit down and talk one at a time,wouldn't we?"
He said to biffow,who nodded in agreement.
They kept walking down the street.Not getting much of anything done.But as can often happen,with a group of Hobbits.So the two listened,and asked qustions that either where not heard,or did't want to be answered.But that was alright.You just can't interupt a conversation,and expect to get some ones full attention.
Just then Prim was telling every one to go home.It was getting late,so they should all go off to there dinners.So everyone made there way off.Still there was so much to talk about.Ah thats the way we can get this all sorted out.
"Well Biffo!I have made a plan that might help this situation.Would you care to join me?I promise for hard work earned,we'll both be at the Green Dragon on me!"Biffo's eyes perked up at the mention of the Green Dragon.
But for now there was no food.Only a good hurry to Olo's house,then the post office.Olo would help to get talk started with every one,if it was the last thing he did.But he couldn't remember any ones favorite foods,and any ones favorite drinks.Well he would have to run to the market,and pick up a littel of everything.
So the prepations where made.He eat at the Green Dragon.At home he would probaly eat agian.This still did't stop him.He packed away the scones,biscutes,cake,and fruit tarts till there was't much room left.Drinking his favorite drink,tea with milk.
After his second dinner that night Olo found himself nodding off in his chair. Ooh now, better get to bed soon. Just a pipe before bed,though.He now took out his short pipe.It was finely crafted ivory. Nothing too special.It was given to him by his grandfather.So it always came in handy for a smoke.It fit in his pocket, so he had it any time he needed it.
So many things to get started tomorrow. Those letters where sent off in such a hurry after the meeting with Bilbo.At least Biffo was there to help. But knowing the post office they probably would get there late, even though he had paid extra to get them there tomorrow morning.
Biffo was always good company with a "Hullo Uncle Olo! And a yes Uncle Olo!"
They had a good time at the Green Dragon after the errond was done. But they didn't talk a bit about the meeting. Just gossip of the Shire. Now his pipe was almost done. He had been worrying too much. Worry this and worry that. When your done you'll set your pipe on your head,and smoke your hat.He thought to himself, now chuckling. Well, it's to a change of clothes,and then off to bed with me.
He did so and made his way to his bedroom, where Maggie,his wife, was already asleep. He blew out the candle, and went to bed.
