'I just need to pack up the belongings I will need and put a few things in order before I depart. Will you help me with these final preparations? It saddens me to leave the Golden Perch and her fine ale behind, but that is the life of an adventurer, is it not?
'Let us return to my hobbit-hole in Michel Delving!'1/1
1 Speak toBingo Boffin (Show dialog)
'I hope you will pardon the mess, my friend. I have had so few visitors lately, and I am afraid I have let the place get a bit disorganized. I will pack up my belongings, and clean up while I am at it!'
Bingo frowns.
'Do you know something? I had quite forgotten until just now, but I have borrowed a number of items from my neighbours over the years and never returned them! I should give these items back before I leave. After all, you never know what might happen on such a journey!
'I borrowed that ball of twine from Poppy Bracegirdle, across the way. Would you mind returning that to her, and some of these other borrowed items to my other neighbours as well?'1/1

'Bingo kept my bucket for so long, I never thought I'd see it again. But now he sends you over to return it, and with no explanation?'
You open your mouth to respond, and she silences you with a curt gesture.
'No need to explain now, Player. I know why Bingo is returning all of his borrowed items. He is leaving the Shire! Yes, Esmerelda Burrows told me all about his little secret!
'I will not stand idly by! I wrote a petition to have Bingo put in the Lockholes to keep him from undertaking this foolish adventure, and many notable hobbits signed it! Go speak with the mayor and see if he has ruled on it yet!'1/1
6 Speak toMayor Will Whitfoot (Show dialog)
'Yes? How can I help you? I do hope that it is a quick matter, for I am late to a dinner...'
You politely ask the mayor if he has ruled on the petition submitted by Myrtle Boggs. He sighs.
'If I had known the sort of complaints I would have had to deal with as mayor, I would never have accepted the office! Do this! Do not do that! Stop this person from leaving! Make this person leave! It is a constant din of noise, Player!
'I suppose the dinners make it all worthwhile, but only just! I am not going to rule on this petition. If Myrtle Boggs wants to stop Bingo Boffin from leaving the Shire, she can lock him up herself! You take this petition and give it to Mr. Boffin, because I want nothing to do with it!'1/1

'What are these flowers, Player? Has the mayor ruled on my petition to put Bingo Boffin into the Lockholes?'
You explain that Bingo wanted you to deliver these flowers to Myrtle in appreciation for her kind thoughts.
'Kind... thoughts...? I mean, yes, of course, I wish only the best for all of my neighbours, but still...'
Myrtle turns a bright shade of red.
'I will write ANOTHER petition! This one will be about... about something else... but it will be SERIOUS! You'll see!'1/1

'I thank you once again, Player. I am touched to know that Myrtle cares so much for me, and I will miss her! But now, if you will excuse me, I have some more packing to do. But the journey is so close now!'
