The rapping of a hand on a support beam near the tunnel mouth had an immediate effect on the family, waking the children who grabbed their small bundles and started scooching for the exit tunnel. Enid held up a hand to stop them, signaling for quiet. Osle drew his father's knife.
Frodo appreciated caution as well as the next Hobbit, but he could see that Ruddoc's family was still effected by the events at old Ford. It would be a long time before they felt safe from invasion again.
Holding up his hand as well, he gave Fina and Ceo a grin and wink, then shouted "This one's taken! Move along, friend. No more room here."
