A slow smile crept over Frodo's face as he saw the lady in white splutter in surprise. Laurie had heard so very many tales and songs about this most famous of hobbits that she found her tongue tied. She had known, of course, that Frodo would be arriving, but it was different somehow to see him in person. It made it all the stories seem more real, and alive.

Laurie finally found her voice, and her manners returned as well. A deep flush covered her face as she hastily rose and curtsied low before Frodo.

"Many greetings. It is more than a honour to meet you. Long live the Halflings." She ended lamely. He nodded his head and his eyes smiled at her kindly, understanding her lack of composure. Others were watching them curiously, so Laurie excused herself and walked away with her face burning. She felt quite in need of a cup of tea after that encounter!
