Belle saw the newcomer,and overheard something about house hunting. She knew a few places that might be empty soon, as well as the stories behind them. She sat down as the newcomer straightened her dress.
"Hello,I'm Belle. There's a place that will be empty soon around Bagshot Row. The couple there,Marigold and Bari Maggot, want to move away from there. They're offering a bargain for the hole, but if you had their neighbors, well, you would too. But it's a very nice hole."
"Let's see. There's also a place on Girdley Island, but thats over on the Brandywine. Poor Crystal,at least I think that's what her name was, they said her son Hob, he's a Brandybuck you know, was playing with candles and set the whole hole on fire! They're selling it now and getting a smaller house.
"If you want a place closer to here though, my friend Rowan said that her cousin Marroc decided to move into his wife's house in Oatbarten. He has a place near here in Frogmorten he's selling, though why he would do that and go that far north for a Boffin, I don't know, but thats your best choice there"
