“Extras are always important,” Bilbo explained. “Extra plates?”
Frodo answered, “On the extras tray, with extra mugs and bowls, and extra forks, knives, and spoons.”
“Extra napkins?”
“In this basket, with extra butter servers.”
“And extra small mugs for the bairns? They always seem to drop theirs.”
“I have them here, too, along with the extra bibs.”
As he headed out the door to take these down to the serving table, Frodo stopped short.
“Extra guests?” guessed Bilbo.
“Yes, and we’d best get out the platter of extra eggs. It’s the Bolgers, and Fredegar has that look in his eye!”
