Child raced up to Birdland with a relieved look on her face. Being a typical hobbit in a stressful situation, she was blathering on and on at the mouth, with one word following another in a string which could barely be comprehended.

Out of this avalanche of nonsense, Birdie did manage to decipher one or two salient points. Veritas and Pio had snarfed the REG and expected to meet up with Child and herself at the alternate meeting place which was down on the banks of the river. Moreover, they had managed to elude all pursuers and were in sole possession of the REG.

It did not appear that Mithadan or the Barrow-wight had yet caught on to the fact that the precious REG had been recaptured. So much the worse for them, Birdland mused.

Birdie turned her head and looked down towards the river. "So, it's to be the river?" she thought. "What a wonderful place. No Mithadan, no Barrow-wight. Only my 'dear' companions whose sole desire seems to be to rectify the so-called errors generated by the REG."

In spite of herself, Birdland laughed. Child had caught hold of her hand and was quite literally pulling her in the direction of the river. For one terrible instant, Birdland almost lost control. She had an almost unearthly desire to make the string of words issuing from Child's mouth abruptly cease. Then she regained her composure, and pretended to accede to Child's wishes.

Oh, well, this charade wouldn't have to go on much longer. Hobbits could be so annoying at times. Worst of all, when one of their number got in trouble, the others tended to rally around to help the offended or aggrieved party. That was scarcely what she wanted.

In her world, the world of Birdland, only a select few of these pesky hobbits would be allowed any privileges. You know, she thought, that child Primrose does have potential, hobbit or no. If I could only get her away from her father, that goody two-shoes Sam, I woud develop her into something really worthwhile. And, once I have the REG, a little problem like that should be no problem at all........
