Bethberry, who was not one to be easily ruffled or disturbed, had remained sitting, quietly observing the strange actions of the unruly travelers and Holly's thoughtful assistance to the hobbit who had been upended, sipping her tea and eating her seedcake unassumingly.

Once Gandalf had finished talking with the always and ever distracted elves, she spoke up.

Gandalf, can you help yourself to some tea or ale and seedcake or is there more for you to be concerned with?

To tell you the truth, I cannot remember when any of my travels in search of herbs have brought me so readily into such troubles. Even those I've shared with you before! Something is afoot in the Shire but I cannot place a handle on it. Things and people are falling out too often and too easily. Or am I letting that first encounter weigh too heavily on my mind?
