Pippin rushed towards Bag End, eager not to be the last one there. He also wanted to spend as much time as he could get with his friends while they were still around. At last he came onto Bagshot row, he tried to urge his pony to sprint the home strait, but only managed a fast trot. He reached the gate and tied up his pony. He noted that Merry's cart was nowhere in sight and, with a slight smile on his face, he walked up the garden path towards the rounded, green door of Bag End. He stopped to admire a particularly lovely patch of flowers but then hurried on to the door. He pulled the bell chain and almost immediately the door was flung open.
"Hello Bilbo!" said Pippin cheerfully.
"Welcome Pippin, do come in." Said Bilbo. Pippin stepped into the warmth of the hole, he took off his coat and hung it up on a peg. He turned towards the other two and greeted them in his same, cheerful manner. Soon enough voices filled the rooms of Bag End.
