Elanor and Sam had been riding a little bit ahead of the hobbits when the woman jumped up from the middle of the road.

"Sam!" She gasped, horrified. "Look, they're bein' attacked by bandits! And- oh, but it can't be- but it is, a woman! A woman bandit, Sam, and she's all bloodied and everything, oh, she looks so frightening! How I wish we'd stayed home!"

Horrible visions filled her mind, of being killed, of being kidnapped and then tortured by bandits. And Mama and Dad? What if Elanor really were taken? What if the whole group were taken? By the end of ten minutes, Elanor was convinced that it was all somehow their fault that the group was attacked by bandits.
