Ben bent down to give a hand up to Mirabella. The Man had given his name and claimed to be a Ranger! Now the other Hobbits crowded round him, asking him questions.

‘I don’t know what to think either, Miri,’ Ben whispered as he pulled her to her feet. ‘I though old Bill was alright. But he fooled us and now look where we’ve ended up!’ He shook his head and sighed. ‘What I do know is that we’re way off course if we’ve come to the Barrow Downs and I do know none of us know how to get back to Buckland from here.’ He looked over at the weather beaten man then back at Mirabella. ‘You have any ideas?’

He plopped himself down next to Erendal, wagging his tail furiously, his mouth fixed in a toothy grin. Perhaps, if he were patient, there would be a treat . . .
