[doubled]

One thing I notice in this chapter as opposed to the movie is the book is friendlier here. The movie makes the episode dark, menacing, and forboding, everyone is looking around suspiciously. Butterbur appears dim and gruff and there are no other hobbits around. The book makes the inn friendly and welcome. Everyone in the common room seems to be enjoying themselves. Butterbur knows Gandalf's name right off, and something nudgers at his memory.

and there are no other hobbits around.

That's right...and I missed Nob in the movie.
