Holly stood up from her place near the fire and wiped her hands on her trouser legs.

'Well met, sir!' she said to Gandalf, and bowed back to him. 'Please don't think me rude if I don't answer your questions at present. Let's eat first, and enjoy a hot drink in the sun. Answers always are easier with a full stomach, don't you think?'

She busied herself dredging the now cleaned mushrooms in the flour and herbs that Bethberry had produced, and popped them into the frying pan.

'After breakfast, or second breakfast for me, we can sit and enjoy a pipe together and I'll tell you where I'm bound. I have some Longbottom leaf to share, if that might serve your fancy. Mr. Gandalf.'
