Select the two correct answers.

"'My dear fellow,' said he, 'whenever are you going to come? What about an early start?--and here you are, having breakfast, or whatever you call it, at half-past ten! They left you the message because they could not wait.'

'What message?' said poor Mr. Baggins all in a fluster.

"'To think it will soon be June!' grumbled Bilbo, as he splashed along behind the others in a very muddy track. It was after tea-time; it was pouring with rain, and had been all day; his hood was dripping into his eyes, his cloak was full of water; the pony was tired and stumbled on stones; the others were too grumpy to talk. 'And I’m sure the rain has got into the dry clothes and into the food-bags,” thought Bilbo. 'Bother burgling and everything to do with it!'"

"The washing-up was so dismally real that Bilbo was forced to believe the party of the night before had not been part of his bad dreams, as he had rather hoped. Indeed he was really relieved after all to think that they had all gone without him, and without bothering to wake him up ('but with never a thank-you' he thought)..."

"'What I say,' said Bilbo gasping. 'And please don’t cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook if you see what I mean. I’ll cook beautifully for you, a perfectly beautiful breakfast for you if only you won’t have me for supper.'

'Poor little blighter,' said William. He had already had as much supper as he could hold; also he had had lots of beer. 'Poor little blighter! Let him go!'
