STORAGE

They could hardly bear to see the interior of the once beautiful Bag End. Sharkey had taken pains to destroy or befoul everything, and the companions insisted Frodo not be allowed to help with the clearup.

In a cellar stood the one piece of furniture untouched; once one of Mr Bilbo's tall wardrobes. Now Sam approached with some trepidation, for the stench did not bode well. A little later Pippin found him throwing up in the garden. All Sam could gasp was, “Tell Merry to burn that wardrobe. And Pip...don't look inside.”

They never spoke of it to Mistress Lobelia.
