Birdie looked at the pony standing cross-wise across the trail. This was more than a balky tired horse refusing to do its duties. Periwinkle acted more like a dog around Holly, and Bird had teased the halfing more than once about her "pack dog". Periwinkle semed to think that there was something on the trail ahead, and he did not want his mistress to go in that direction.
She watched as the heedless elves rode around the pony and continued to canter down the trail. "Someone stop them!" she said.
