Cami stopped at the Gamgee burrow on Bagshot Row, hoping Marigold could come to help her clean the drawing room and kitchen in preparation for the party. Cami rapped loudly, but, when no answer came, tacked up a note on the door, suggesting that Marigold join her at Bag-end.

Her next errand would not be so easy. She'd made Bilbo a solemn promised that she would try and get along with Bowman. That meant no fighting and no being nasty, even if the boy himself was less than cordial. Bilbo had asked Bowman to help with the party preparations, so Cami thought she'd better invite him to come along.

Cami crept up to the burrow where Bowman's family lived and knocked reluctantly on the door. But, again, there was no answer. She scribbled out another note and left this one tucked under the front mat, poking out enough so that Bowman would see it whenever he came home:

Dear Bowman,

Bilbo has suggested that I invite you to help with the party preparations. Mister Bilbo is badly in need of our help, since Sam and Elanor ran off to join the hobbits who are visiting towns in different parts of the Shire to buy presents and other party things. The three of us--myself, you, and Marigold--are the only ones left to get through the work in Hobbiton.

This afternoon, we need to clean the kitchen and drawing room at Bag-end, and also help to weed the garden, since Sam is not here to do his regular chores.

I hope that you get this, and will come join us this afternoon.

Your friend,

Cami
