| Changes |
Nickey asked for "something hobbity, Merry in particular". |

Everything was different, yet the Shire seemed unchanged. Or was that true? For there was Sam, the blushing new-made mayor. And the new Party Tree had gold leaves. And then, Merry thought, smiling suddenly, there was the greatest proof of the world's changing. For Peregrine Took, who'd never seemed likely to settle, had eyes only for Diamond as they danced alone. "No more changes for the worst," Merry murmured. |
