The Hobbit chapter one and unexpected party in a hole in the ground. There lived a hobbit, not a nasty, dirty wet hole filled with the ends of worms and any oozy smell. No or yet a dry bare sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat. It was a hobbit hole and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole painted green with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on a tube shaped hall like a tunnel, a very comfortable tunnel without smoke with paneled walls and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats. The hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill. The hill as the people for many miles round called it and many little round doors opened out of it first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries, lots of these wardrobes. He had whole rooms devoted to clothes, kitchens, dining rooms, all were on the same floor. And indeed, on the same passage, the best rooms were all on the left hand side going in for these were the only ones to have windows, deep set round windows, looking over his garden and meadows beyond sloping down to the river. This Hobbit was a very well to do Hobbit and his name was Baggins. The Bagginses had lived in the neighborhood of the hill for a time out of mind and people considered them very respectable. Not only because of them, most of them were rich, but because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected. You could tell what a Baggins would say to any question without the bother of asking him.
