Returning to Hobbiton after an absence of many long years, Gandalf quickly sought out Bag End, the home of his old and dear friend Bilbo Baggins. It was the morning of Bilbo's One Hundred and Eleventh birthday, and a party of special magnificence was planned for that night. The old Hobbit had been plagued by the incessant attentions of unwanted visitors, well wishers and distant relations, prompting him to hang out a sign upon his front gate warning, "No admittance except on party business". It was in this grumpy state of mind that Bilbo stomped to the door to answer Gandalf's knock, completely unprepared for the joyous reunion that awaited him.
