(from Karen Wynn Fonstad, The Atlas of Middle-earth)

“…Bilbo began to whistle loudly and to forget about the night before. In fact he was just sitting down to a nice little second breakfast in the dining-room by the open window, when in walked Gandalf.

“My dear fellow,” said he, “whenever are you going to come? What about an early start?”"

(Tolkien, 1965 Ballantine, p. 40-42 Hobbit)
