Holly looked askance at the hobbit sitting next to Gandalf.

'My goodness,' she said, as an aside to Olo, 'they grow some rude hobbits in Overhill, if he is any example!' She watched him, crumbs spilling down his vest, asking nosey questions, and gesturing at the wizard with his spoon to emphasize his points.

'I'm surprised the cook hasn't come out and threatened him with her rolling pin for his off comments about the pies.' replied Olo, watching as Podo reached for the last piece of gooseberry pie.

Holly reached across the table with her knife and claimed the slice. Podo drew back his hand hastily.

'Oh, sorry!,' she said, smiling prettily. 'I didn't see you wanted that! My friend, Peri, is awfully partial to gooseberry pie and I thought to bring him a piece. I hope you don't mind? Seeing as I've already stuck my dirty knife in it.!' Her smile widened even further as she drew the pie pan toward her.

'Be my guest.' said Podo, who had already turned his attention to the bumbleberry pie to the left of him.

Olo followed Holly toward the inn's kitchen. 'Where are we going?' he asked.

'Peri really does like gooseberry pie, and I thought,if we went quietly out the kitchen's back door, we might avoid that Ranger.'
