Summary
The lane to the Smial was absurdly neat.
Too neat.
Thorin reined in his irritation long before his hand ever reached the round green door, but it sat beneath his ribs all the same, hot, and familiar as banked iron. Hobbiton smelled of cut grass, damp earth, fresh bread, and peace so domestic it affronted him. He had crossed wild lands, slept beneath hostile skies, buried kin, swallowed pride, and borne the memory of fire and ruin in his very bones, and now he stood before a painted door with a brass knob set precisely in the middle.
(So, this is where Gandalf has brought us. To a hole in the hill.)
...
Something in it unsettled him more than he cared to name. Not because it was ridiculous—though it was—but because it was hospitable, habituated, cared for and lived in.Things too easily lost.
...
Two knocks.“Open up.”
A beat passed, and his mouth hardened.
(I have not come all this way to stand waiting on a doorstep and if this hobbit proves half so foolish as I expect, Gandalf will hear of it before the hour is done.)
...
Although something sharper than annoyance had begun to stir in his chest.
Restless, uninvited and deeply irritating curiosity.Series
