Mirabella trudged along behind the guide, still suspicious of him. 'I do no' like this' she pouted as she heard Ben walk up beside her 'Or maybe it was your Wight stories giving me the frights' she winked.
Ben went crimson, and she chuckled 'In all truth, my da' spoke of those places. Though only once. He said it was a load of rubbish, and that hobbit lasses wouldna' get that far, so dont let my mind wander there'. She looked up at the sky 'Well, he said I wouldnt leave the Shire eh? Look at me now!' she beamed, and tapped the stick she had taken with her along the riverstones.
