Frodo was the only one present who had said nothing.
For some time he had sat silent beside Bilbo's empty
chair, and ignored all remarks and questions. He had
enjoyed the joke, of course, even though he had been in
the know. He had difficulty in keeping from laughter at
the indignant surprise of the guests. But at the same time
he felt deeply troubled: he realized suddenly that he loved
the old hobbit dearly. Most of the guests went on eating
and drinking and discussing Bilbo Baggins' oddities, past
and present; but the Sackville-Bagginses had already
departed in wrath. Frodo did not want to have any more
to do with the party.
-The Fellowship of the Ring,
J.R.R. Tolkien
