Eodwine rose from his chair and excused himself, asking for Gudryn to come with him. Bêthberry began to protest, but Eodwine said with a will that he would go see the girl.

"You're not excusing yourself from me,' Falco yelled at Eodwine's receding back as he hopped off his chair and gave chase, his pipe puffing smoke so that, if there had been any in that time and place, those who looked on would have said the hobbit looked like a little steam engine. But there weren't any such things in that time and place, so nobody thought it; but it looked like it anyway.

By the time Falco got to the door of Saeryn's room, Eodwine was sitting on the edge of the bed as Gudryn looked on; a little girl looked up at Eodwine with big eyes sand said,

"She is very ill."

Falco approached the bed. Saeryn looked very, very pale. "The girl could use some compotes or something."
