I can see the Bald Hill off in the distance, but it will probably take 4-5 more days before I reach it. I just want a breath of free air...the heat and humidity in here just saps my strength. I could really use one of Merry's ponies right now.

But after a while the air began to get hot and stuffy. The trees drew close again on either side, and they could no longer see far ahead. Now stronger than ever they felt again the ill will of the wood pressing on them. So silent was it that the fall of their ponies' hoofs, rustling on dead leaves and occasionally stumbling on hidden roots, seemed to thud in their ears.
