"Pippin, quick!!" Merry said. "Help me get to the window!"
"Alright!" Pippin said as Merry climbed onto the chair and out the window.
"Quick, Pippin!" Merry cried to Pippin who was still in the room, and Lotho was still coming down the hall.
"There's no time, Merry!" Pippin said, starting to panic.
"Then hide under the bed or something, so as he doesn't see you! I'll wait here for you under the window, but try to get out of there soon, or he'll have you once he discovers you." Merry advised in a hurry.
Pippin hastily crawled under Lotho's bed, and, to his disgust, found a half-eaten, moldy liverwurst sandwich under the bed.
"Ugh!" Pippin muttered, disgusted.
The door opened, and Lotho came in. He looked around, and then went out again. He must have gone to the loo. A moment or two later he reappeared.
"Mommy, what about the story you promised me?" Lotho whined to his mother. Pippin smiled from under the bed. They were right; Lobelia did still read bedtime stories to Lotho. Pippin heard Merry try to stifle a chuckle. So, apparently did Lotho. He went to the window and looked out, but Merry must have figured that Lotho heard him, and so apparently ran away.
"Hmm, could have sworn I heard something out there, oh well. Mommy, the story!" Lotho whined, but also demanded the last part. Pippin now could hear Lobelia walking down the hallway to the room as well.
"Lotho, it's nine o'clock now, I'm going to bed at 9:15, so it's going to have to be a quick one." She said, getting nearer to the room.
"Oh, great, two Sackville-Bagginses to worry about now." Pippin now started to worry. Lobelia hardly ever missed a trick, so he might now be caught.
"Oh, alright, a story." Lobelia said, sounding as if she was thinking one up in her head. She walked into the room and smiled at Lotho.
"Could it be about Superhobbit?" Lotho asked excitedly. Superhobbit was a super hero character that was Lotho's favorite. He jumped into bed. Lobelia tucked him in and sat down in the chair.
"Well, let's see, Superhobbit, eh?" Lobelia said, trying to think up a story, "Well, once upon a time..
Pippin started to doze off. In fact, he fell asleep right there underneath the bed. When he finally woke up, the room was dark. Above him, he could hear the soft snoring of Lotho Sackville-Baggins.
