Midget, Child fumed, what do you mean by midget?
Child was making up all kinds of insulting responses inside her brain, but decided it might be better to keep her mouth closed and refrain from speech, at least for the moment. She had a sinking feeling that this was not going to be very good.
Her brain was splitting in half. She remembered waking up from her faint with the beautiful gold and silver Valar nodding over her. Never had Child felt so small. For the first time in her life,Child wished she was an Elf so that she might stay in this beautiful place they called the West.
Elbereth had bent over her. Child had thought she would be blasted to the ends of the earth. But the strangest thing had happened. Elbereth had leaned over her and laughed, a sweet and clear laugh like a tinkling bell.
Then she had said, "Well, little hobbit, you have definitely fallen into the wrong story. Go back with your friends and help them."
Then, all had gone black and she had woken up in the Void with her friends, and now this miserable large thing was calling her a midget!!
