I am so sorry to keep you waiting! he was going to say, when he saw that it was not Gandalf at all.




It was a dwarf ( - ) with a blue beard ( ) tucked into a golden belt ( ), and very brighteyes ( ) under his dark-green hood ( - ). As soon as the door was opened ( ), he pushed inside ( ; to push , ), just as if he had been expected ( - ). He hung his hooded cloak ( ) on the nearest peg ( ), and () Dwalin at your service (, ; service , )! he said with a low bow ( ).

Bilbo Baggins at yours ( )! said the hobbit ( ), too surprised to ask any questions ( , ) for the moment ( ). When the silence that followed ( , ) had become uncomfortable ( ), he added ( ): I am just about to take tea ( ); pray come and have some with me ( , // ). A little stiff perhaps (// , ; stiff , , ), but he meant it kindly ( / / ). And what would you do ( ), if an uninvited dwarf ( ; to invite ) came and hung his things up in your hall ( / / ) without a word of explanation ( )?

They had not been at table long ( ), in fact they had hardly reached the third cake ( , ), when there came another even louder ring at the bell ( , ).

Excuse me ()! said the hobbit ( ), and off he went to the door ( ).

So you have got here at last (, - , - )! was what he was going to say to Gandalf this time (/ / ). But it was not Gandalf ( ). Instead there was a very old-looking dwarf ( ; old-looking ) on the step ( ) with a white beard ( ) and a scarlet hood ( ); and he too hopped inside ( ) as soon as the door was open ( ), just as if he had been invited ( - ).

I see they have begun to arrive already ( , ), he said ( ) when he caught sight of Dwalins green hood ( : ) hanging up ( / /; to catch ). He hung his red one next to it ( ), and () Balin at your service (, )! he said with his hand on his breast ( , : ).

I see they have begun to arrive already, he said when he caught sight of Dwalins green hood hanging up. He hung his red one next to it, and Balin at your service! he said with his hand on his breast.

Thank you ()! said Bilbo with a gasp ( , ; gasp , ). It was not the correct thing to say ( : , ; correct , ), but they have begun to arrive ( //, ) had flustered him badly ( ). He liked visitors ( ), but he liked to know them ( , ) before they arrived ( , ), and he preferred to ask them himself ( ). He had a horrible thought ( ) that the cakes might run short ( ; to run short , ; to run ; short ), and then he ( ) as the host ( ): he knew his duty ( ) and stuck to it however painful ( , / /) he might have to go without (, , //).

Come along in (), and have some tea ( )! he managed to say ( ) after taking a deep breath ( ).

A little beer would suit me better ( ), if it is all the same to you ( ), my good sir ( ), said Balin with the white beard ( , ). But I dont mind some seed-cake ( ), if you have any ( ).

Lots ( )! Bilbo found himself answering ( ), to his own surprise ( ); and he found himself scuttling off ( , , ), too ( ), to the cellar to fill a pint beer- mug ( , ; pint , = 0,57 ), and to the pantry ( ) to fetch two beautiful round seed-cakes ( ) which he had baked that afternoon ( ) for his after-supper morsel ( ; morsel //; ).
