"I see you are awake yet, and ready for work!" Miss Pio laughed, pulling Elanor toward the center of the room where some brave patrons were dancing to the Elven tunes. "But first, let us enjoy the music while we can, and join the dance . . ."

"Oh," Elanor began, flustered. "But I'm afraid I don't know how to dance very well . . . books don't often make good dancing partners. I could add in a song or two of my own, perhaps, but after the wonderful singing we've had, I don't think anybody would want to hear a little hobbit's songs."

As Elanor spoke, she took a couple of steps away from the dacers. Even though she had been to plenty of birthday parties in the Shire and there had been no lack of dancing there, she was still terrified of the practice, and chose to avoid it as much as possible. Instead, she was always on hand to provide a song or a story to any willing listeners.
