One disaster averted another created thought Mithalwen, she had forgotten in the aftermath of Marigold's escapade, that noone had corrected her misapprehension. Was now the time? "Marigold dear... I don't think you have got that quite right" she said clearly...and was then stymied. She did not feel free to say that she believed Snaveling's heart was engaged elsewhere. She looked helplessly at Snaveling. "Wht an imagination you have but I think your bump has muddled you - and you are meant to be resting not getting overexcited may be you should rest in your room"

"But.... but... " started Marigold ..

"Only goats butt, Marigold" said Mithalwen quoting an exasperated hobbit mother she had overheard yesterday at the wedding party. Then her expression softened, " You look as if you have been dragged though a hedge backwards. Lets take your new clothes up to your room and get you tidied up. You can choose something to wear, then you can come back down and show Mr Headstrong how pretty you look, ? "

She hoped she wasn't being cowardly but she felt Aman and Snaveling might prefer not to have spectators..
