Elanor gave an encouraging sort of smile to Marigold, at least, as encouraging as could be, considering that she was scared out of her mind.
Maybe, just maybe, Cami would let it go at that, and they could go home now. Being afraid made Elanor feel wretched- she was usually the most courageous one of all the hobbit children, and to be so frightened by something inanimate, such as the barrows, humiliated her. She bowed her head, lost in her thoughts and memories.
