The last time Holly had seen Gandalf was when he had stood by the black horse and rubbed the area between the great steed's ears. The wizard had taken the two apples she offered, and she had noted he gave one to the horse, while enjoying the other one himself. This pleased her in a hobbity sort of way - feeding people and creatures always gave her good feelings.

But then the crebain had been noted, as if they had sprung up with the song, and the wizard had disappeared.

Knife still at hand, she continued walking down the road by Bird's side, her attention keener to the surroundings. Periwinkle clopped along close behind her, seemingly unconcerned.
