It was now late morning, and they went to pester the kitchen maids for second breakfast. Bilbo worried that they would run into Gilda if they ventured into the kitchens. Luckily, Gilda still was with Maddie down in the cellars. Bilbo encouraged Frodo not to dally (not that he was very worried, the tween inhaled food as though he had not eaten in days), and left instructions for two substantial lunches to be made ready to take with them on their hike later. Then they went back to Bilbo’s room.
