* For a long moment Gandalf paused without speaking, and apparently without hearing, lost in intense concentration as smoke drifted up unnoticed. *

* Bethberry laughed heartily again. * "I can see this will be a test of wit for the two of you. Let me just enjoy my tea."

* Gandalf repeated the riddle. *

Though it is not an ox, it has horns;
though it is not an a$$, it has a pack-saddle;
and wherever it goes it leaves silver behind. What is it?

My guess would be a snail.

(OOC: Bethberry and I spoke by phone, and since her computer will be down until later tonight, she gave me permission to have her character respond according to what I've posted above. Also, I just got home from being out all afternoon at a living history program, and plan to post a riddle for Birdie to answer after I've had dinner.)
