Olo thought over Bird's words. He would just have to take her word for it that Holly would be safe, seeing as how he had no idea either of where the group had gone. 'Nothing to do but wait.' he said to himself. But once the group had gotten back to the inn, he intended to stick to her side like glue.

He sighed. Bird poked him on the arm and repeated her question about the walnut tree.

'Walnut tree? Oh, yes, I know where one is.' He looked her outfit over again. 'Best you dress a little less "pretty", Miss Bird. It's a long hike, through an old overgrown orchard not too far from here. You'll be wanting some good boots, and sturdier clothes, if you catch my drift.' He turned back toward the door. 'I'll just wait outside for you if you don't mind.'

He stood on the landing, scratching his head speculatively. 'Walnuts? Silver pennies? What's one got to do with the other, I wonder?!'
