'An elf?!'laughed Lassiël. 'You do me honor to place me among the First Born!'
She bowed toward the doughty hobbit. 'Nay, say rather I am handservant to a Lady who wished to honor those who have called this gathering.'
The hobbit stepped back shyly, discomfited, despite the warmth and lightness of the lady's bearing.
'Ah! But come now! Where are my manners?' said Lassiël in a soft, inviting voice. 'My name is Lassiël. And what might yours be?'
'Pervinca Took, ma'am!' came the hobbit's courteous answer.
