Late for Dinner

"'I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.' (says Gandalf)

'I should think so- in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing things! Make you late for dinner!'" (The Hobbit, Chapter 1: An Unexpected Party, pg.7.)

Little did Bilbo know that he would be very late for dinner indeed.
