Diamond was watching the pudding war with a hint of horror in her eyes, thinking of all the cleaning that would have to be done once it was over. "Do you think we should go get Faramir?" she asked Pippin, who had a smile on his face, obviously remembering some similar incident he himself had had. "Certainly not!" said Pippin, "Let them be, it's not up to us to look after him for once so enjoy it while you can." Diamond saw the logic in this and tried to put it out of her mind and finish eating.
Pippin suddenly remembered something that he'd meant to talk to Merry about earlier, but it had completely slipped his mind with all the excitement of Frodo, Bilbo, Tom and everyone. He leaned forward, looking towards Merry, "Merry," he said getting his attention, "I've been meaning to talk to you about some rumours I've been hearing recently, about men crossing the borders into the Shire." Merry nodded, "Apparently they've got one in one of them in the Lockholes in Hobbiton, a particularly scruffy looking man they say he is. Have you heard, or even seen anything in Buckland?"
