Elanor sat on a small feather bed, hands between her legs, Rosie on another bed next to her. She twisted the side of her blanket, and saw the door swing open. She jumped up, and ran to her mother and her two siblings. "Mama, what’s happening’? All kinds of hobbits are running around in the streets, calling names!" She looked expectantly to her mother, who shooed Goldilocks and Merry-lad onto a bed.

"Nothing dear," Rose whispered to her daughter.

"Then what is everybody doin’?" Elanor asked worriedly.

"Everything’s fine dear. Just go to sleep," Rosie folded back the covers of the beds.

The door of the hole swung open. Three male Hobbits where talking outside the door, and then the door swiftly banged closed. Rosie jumped up and murmured, "Mama, who just opened the door??"

Rose gently pushed them down onto their pillows. "Papa’s leaving for a few hours. He’ll be back soon, Go to sleep!"

"Yes Ma’am." Elanor muttered, and laid her head on the pillow. Rose smothered the candle, and everything went still.
