    Summary

    Bilbo returned to the Shire broken-hearted, though not quite alone, knowing only that Fili and Kili lived and the line of Durin was secure, so long as no one ever learned of the late King Under the Mountain's dirty little secret.

    Only, as it turns out, "late" wasn't a very accurate descriptor of one Thorin Oakenshield at all.

    Or, the one where Bilbo hears about ten thousand embarrassing stories from Thorin's childhood courtesy of Dis, Thorin is more guilt than Dwarf, and Frodo charms half of Middle Earth before his first birthday.

    Summary

    If a man was to feel anything as irrational as love (love, that was to say, of a person or something else suspect, not king and country which was only proper), then that man could express that love in two ways.

    He could undertake acts of forthright and dashing heroism.

    He could ask the object of his affections for her hand in marriage.

    So much Arthur Hastings had learned, by osmosis as much as by explicit conversation, during his years at the finest schools and universities in the country.

    Summary

    The mystery begins on the first of November.
    Mais, non; Poirot must not leap to conclusions. The mystery is first noticed on the first of November, and it is very likely that it began before this time.
