Jasper swore under his breath as the twig snaped under his boot. He hurried to the clearing, and looked around.
No one in sight. Where is Evelina? Then he saw her stand up in the ditch near the road, and he stepped into the clearing.
"You fool," Hissed Evelina. "Why don't you just scream 'We're Here!' You make enough noise to alert every hobbit within a mile of our position."
Jasper put on a haughty look. "Ah, so what. No little hobbit'l be able to stop us. What are'ya so scared about?"
Evelina looked like she would kill him in an instant. "You underestimate these Shire folk. The're not the little country bumpkins you make them out to be. Now be quiet!
They sat down in the ditch, waiting for the third bandit to arrive. He was soon in coming.
