Still, the farewell atmosphere is present, especially from Frodo's part. He knows deep inside that he might never get back again, and sentences simple as "Our last meal at Bag End!" get a totally new meaning, a sad meaning. Everything is an adventure - and the first time they hid from the Black Rider was only a part of it. But then, in the heart of the Shire, things begin to get scary, and finally the elves appear as saviours. I have always loved the merriness of the chapter which slowly becomes dark.

I completely agree, and your post made me see...I must go with
Three is Company as my tenth and final choice!
