Evelina waited for her backup before making a dash through the hobbits to the baskets of food placed carefully inside the cart. She got her arms around a particurally large and heavy basket. The two hobbits sitting in the wagon shrunk back in horror at Evelina's cut face and wild manner; she could not help making an extra wild leer at them before running off after Bandolin.
Dashing for the woods, she barely escaped being run down by the cart horse barreling down the road, and ended up tripping and tearing a bit of the hem of her dress. Cursing loudly, she regained her balance and disappeared through the trees, leaving the hobbit party gaping behind.
