'A pleasant day to you, friend. If you have a moment or two to spare, do you think I might trouble you for a spell? My name is Bingo, of the Delving-field Boffins, and it is so rare for me to see new folk on the path that runs by my hole. It is a pleasure to meet you!

'I have been feeling a mite lonely these days, you see, and could use a festive occasion on the horizon to put a spring in my step and to occupy my thoughts. Perhaps a dinner-party would do the trick? Yes, that sounds capital! I will invite my neighbours, and you as well, of course!

'Could you run down to the Michel Delving market and assess some of the produce on display? Tell me what foods look particularly delicious, and that may give me the spark of inspiration for a course or three to serve at my party!

'The market is to the south of my hobbit-hole.'

Bingo Boffin is outside his hobbit-hole north of the Michel Delving market, on the other side of the Town Hole.
