Daisy sat up from her bed and couldn’t believe how cold she was. It was early morning and looking out the window she could see that the snow was coming down a little lighter now, but still heavier and swirling around in the wind more than she would have liked to be going to walk in. It was like looking into white nothingness until Daisy noticed the trees around the inn. Their lifeless, leafless limbs looked like they were reaching for sunlight and warmth that were not to be found. It made the whole area around the inn look very scary and uninviting.
The gray sunless sky made Daisy feel like staying at the inn and staying warm, but she thought of all the other hobbits she traveled with and all those at home counting on her to get to Rivendell and get food. It also gave her the feeling of foreboding, but she didn’t know why. She shrugged her shoulders and decided to get dressed and go downstairs and get some breakfast if possible.
Daisy left her room and made her way down the stairs, which creaked with each step she took. She thought it’s a good thing I’m not trying to sneak up on someone. Once downstairs she looked around to see some of the other hobbits already there and talking amongst themselves. There was a small fire going in the dining area and she rushed over to feel the warmth. She saw Bullroarer and went over to him. “Morning to you” she said to Bullroarer. “It is positively awful outside” she added. Bullroarer did not reply as he seemed to have something on his mind.
Daisy went and sat down at one of the tables and waited for Hal and Gaddy to come down and sit with her. She hoped that the guys could give this lifeless dreary place a little pep while they were waiting to leave for Whitfurrows.
