Summary: The title pretty much says it all.

Fatty's Visitor

At the sound of his gate opening, Fredegar Bolger (better known as Fatty), looked out the window. What he saw frightened him near as much as those cloaked figures had done not that long ago. But this weren't strangers from a foreign land – this was a fellow Hobbit.

Fredegar drew a deep breath, straightened his waistcoat and went to meet his fate. He was already at the door when the knock sounded. He stiffened his spine – mentally and physically – and opened the door to face his caller.

The older Hobbit wasted no time with niceties. "Fredegar Bolger, where's my Sam?"
