Thinking there was more she could do for the Rangers, Bethberry sought out Gandalf at the Trade Inn.

I will be happy to help you deliver the meals to the Rangers, Gandalf, for I noticed in particular how haggard and weary they were at the meeting. They live with more hardship and deprivation than any of those whose safety they watch over, and with precious little to cover their heads at night. I will return shortly, but leave all plans to your wise discernment.

For the time being, since we are spending another day here, let me seek out some of the more wholesome and nourishing roots, vegetables and berries. I can return to the cottage and give them to the Rangers soon after I forage them, and return here to help you deliver tonight's meals; root vegetable soup can have as rich a sustenance as any stew--as I know you are well aware, my friend.

Gandalf nodded agreement and then watched as Bethberry skipped resolutely out on her forest quest. Foraging took her but an hour or two, and she was able to return to the Inn in plenty of time to help Gandalf deliver the meals with the discretion and stealth needed.
