When Bilbo [born 2890] was ninety-nine [2989], he adopted Frodo [born 2968] as his heir, and brought him to live at Bag End; and the hopes of the Sackville-Bagginses were finally dashed. Bilbo and Frodo happened to have the same birthday, September 22nd. ‘You had better come and live here, Frodo my lad,’ said Bilbo one day; ‘and then we can celebrate our birthday-parties comfortably together.’ At that time Frodo was still in his tweens [21], as the hobbits called the irresponsible twenties between childhood and coming of age at thirty-three.
