Sam walked home behind Marigold and Belle, deep in his own thoughts...thoughts about the party, thoughts about the oath, thoughts about the girls. He didn't hear a word that his sister or Belle said, but he watched them carefully--not so much out of his duty to walk them home, but simply out of their connection to his thoughts.

The whole business of the oath was bothering him a bit. He agreed with Cami that it was the only way to keep Marigold quiet, but she was his little sister, no matter how much he complained about her. He frowned and crossed his arms. What a fix! He didn't want Marigold to get too scared at the barrows, but he certainly didn't want her blabbing the whole plan to Frodo.

"The less I worry about it, the happier we'll all be," he muttered to himself, sighing. "Cami knows what she's doing, and she cares for Marigold just like I do--after all, a cousin's a cousin. But I do wish that Marigold had never overheard--those ears of hers combined with that mouth: what a sister!" He sighed again and went on with the girls.
