2 Speak toBingo Boffin (Show dialog)
'Well? Did any of the food at the market capture your fancy, Player?'
Bingo listens to your report that everything looked delicious.
'That is both a wonderful thing and a pity, because it makes it very difficult to decide what to serve at my party! I need more than just an account of the ingredients, I suppose. I need a cookbook!
'There is a library in the Great Smials at Tuckborough. Would you mind terribly a quick trip to the library to check out a cookbook on my behalf? Perhaps leafing through such a book will give me a good idea of what to serve.'1/1
3 Speak toDonnamira Took (Show dialog)
'Yes? Can I help you find something in particular?'
You tell Donnamira that you're looking for a cookbook suitable for preparing fine meals for dinner-parties, and her face lights up.
'Very good, very good! There is no day that cannot be brightened with a tasty meal shared by friends. Any of the fine cookbooks on this shelf behind me will suffice, I warrant!'1/1

'Ah, it will take me some time to recover from that exercise. I have never run so quickly in all my days, Player! And yet, I am more excited than ever before. An adventure! It will be just the thing! But it will take some preparations, to be sure. I will need your help to get ready for this journey!'
