Summary
“This is beyond my ability to fix, Gandalf,” Bilbo said as he paced through the library. He ran his hand through his hair as he pinched his phone between his ear and his shoulder. “I can clean and paint and refurbish, but I can’t work miracles."
“My dear, Bilbo,” Gandalf said in that soothing tone he often used, “You’re doing a wonderful job there at the castle. But it’s a large place. Haven’t I told you that you can hire more help?”
Bilbo grimaced at the thought of having more people ruining his hard work. The passage of time was bad enough. “We’ve been over this. The last girl that I hired tried to make off with the spoons. I’m perfectly okay with doing the upkeep myself. But I can’t do anything with metal beyond clean it.”
“Then find someone who can,” Gandalf said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. “Surely there are still people whose profession is to work with metals.”
“You want me to find some sort of iron worker?” Bilbo asked skeptically.
Or the one where Bilbo is the caretaker of an estate and Thorin is the blacksmith he hires to help him with repairs.
