You should just be glad someone knows what you are reading came before whatever those new movies were. She's heard the kids say 'Oh look, this is based on the movie,' and had to bite her tongue. Honestly, one should be surprised she even tried to bite her tongue. Lets be real. "That tells me it's not your first time reading it. Wha'sit? Just a random repeat choice, or a standard washing day novel to transport you out of the thrum of spinnin' machines and dull chores?"

Tugging the front strings a bit, she smirked as he mentioned the proprietor. "It's a laundromat. I'm sure they've seen a fair bit of tush before." Not tying the pants, but just tugging them tighter, she nodded to them in agreement that they, again, would do. Then she looked up at him. "All the same, thank you Mr. Baggins. After the day I've had, a lecture is the last thing I need."

[That's a good point. There is the chance that nothing but good can come from this meeting! Maybe...]
