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.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
