    Summary

    For a hobbit used to the many comforts of a hobbit hole, adjusting to sleeping in caves and against trees was hard. Bilbo often found himself too cold to fall into a deep slumber, and he'd wake up sorer than he'd gone to bed. But this morning was different. It was warm and comfortable, and with the pleasant scent of worn leather and fur pelts surrounding him it was hard to get up. He wanted to, very much so. The thought that he could be lying over one of his companions was bad enough as it was, but what if he was lying on top of Dwalin? The dwarf would twist his head off.

    But this wasn't Dwalin. No, he wished it was. He was quite sure this was worse.

    Summary

    An excerpt from A Guide to Shire Flora by Bilbo Baggins, collected by Frodo Baggins:
    The Mile’s End is a rare flower found only in the four farthings of the Shire. While no one is certain when it was first recorded, it can be found in Hobbit art and embroidery patterns going back at least 500 years. The peculiar thing about mile’s ends is that they only bloom when in the presence of true love or rather, soul mates. In Hobbit culture, therefore, it is mainly used during wedding ceremonies. They are of particular importance to weddings between two brides or two grooms, for both relationship and flower are seen as precious and symbolic of Hobbit love for community and family in all forms.
    Etymology: the name “mile’s end” is most likely derived from the Sindarin loth, meaning flower; mîl, meaning love; and henia, meaning understand. What originally was mîlothenia, became milothen and eventually milen. From there, Shire accent turned it into two separate Westron words: mile’s end.
