“Thank you, Talia. That is a good idea, to look for Derufin. But I do not know where he went. Perhaps we should ask the Innkeeper? I have heard her name is Aman. She would be in the common room, I think. If I were her, I would want to know about that necklace .”
Just then they heard a shout; it was some fellow calling Derufin’s name. Talia and Willofain looked around and saw a man standing near the tool shed. “Why, there is that man that I followed from Bree! He is the one whom Orcs set upon. He fought them off until one fled and then he fled himself. I do not know his name. – Did you say you are from Gondor? He speaks just as you do. And he seems to be calling for Derufin. What shall we do?”
