"It's our turn, Robin!" said Dinodas, jumping out of his spot as Lotho and Autumn passed them, hiding behind the bushes. He looked behind him to see Robin was not following.
"I don't know if I can make it," said Robin, looking afraid. "I'm don't know if I have the strength to run."
"Come on!" he said, grabbing her hand and pulling her out. They began to run. "Don't worry, Robin, you'll make it all right."
Dinodas was a very fast lad with much endurance, for back in the Shire he would go on long walks and race the other boys his age. But he found that all the strain of the journey and battles had made him weary, and soon he was beginning to slow. Robin was already slowing down.
"Carl and Olo are just ahead," Dinodas panted. "Come on!" And with one last effort, they vanished into the bushes while Carl and Olo jumped up for their turn.
