The Green Dragon Inn - Part 6

Fin was sorrowed by her words and tale. "My lady, you have a much grievous past, but that is behind. Remain a while here I beg, and, if your mind is still not turned away from the westerward journey then pray, let me accompany you so far as your path leads in Middle Earth. I would not see you walk alone when company thou could have."

Fin was interupted by a cough from Rose as she stood behind him. "Your food and drink," she explained, putting a tray down on the table.

"Thank you," Elizabeth said.

"My pleasure," Rose replied, "anything to help you evade Fin's exaggerated speeches."

"I beg your pardon, sweet Rose," Fin exclaimed, turning to her, "I speak nothing but the truth to the radiant elvish lady before me."

"Hmph," the serving women said and, smiling, walked away to serve other customers.

"Well?" Fin asked, slipping back into the conversation.
