Spoons

Spoons! He dared leave us spoons? Bilbo disappears for a year and reappears after everyone thinks he's dead. He makes Frodo his heir, not us! Finally, after we wait sixty years, he vanishes again and leaves us spoons?

Why didn't he leave us this lovely candlestick? Frodo doesn't need it. He wouldn't miss it.

What about this little mirror? It's a Baggins' family heirloom! Frodo's a Brandybuck; he shouldn't have it. I'll save it for the family.

A nicely carved footbrush and comb! In they go. There's room for them as well.

"Lobelia?"

Frodo!

"Why is your umbrella oddly shaped?"
