Peony enjoyed one of the first sunny days in quite some time. Frodo and Strider talked about the chance of finding Gandalf waiting at Weathertop, which they could see in the distance. Strider was doubtful he would be there. Peony strained to see in the distance, and thought she saw a lone figure walking far ahead of them, about five miles away, and called to Strider to look.
The Ranger shook his head. "I can see that's not Gandalf, just from the clothing he's wearing."
Peony looked again, and cried out with delight: "I think it might be Estelyn Telcontar!"
