So, I suppose he isn't as malevolent as the others… especially Thorin! I think, if we ever get to the treasure, he might keep it all for himself! The Dwarves might be mean to me, but I can't just leave them here to be killed by those giant spiders when I can save them! How I wish I stayed in my safe, cosy hobbit-hole, instead of letting Gandalf persuading me to leave it.

Beatty helps Montag change into a better person without even trying and noticing. In many ways this is good that Beatty is trying to push Montag away from books because it just makes Montag rebel against
CHAPTER 7 * The next day, Arthur wakes up and decides that he is so done with this whole Drablow affair. * He's going to pass the whole thing off to Mr. Jerome. * The landlord lends him a bicycle, and he pedals off to see Mr. Jerome, feeling pretty good about things. * His good mood vanishes when he gets to Mr. Jerome's office. * Mr. Jerome is very squirrely about the whole thing and says no way, no how, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
