The mood of the inn and the smell of eggs and bacon had put Belle in a lighter mood. Biffo had left at the first call of breakfast, but Belle wasn't quite finished with her toast.
She had seen Biffo staring outside, then arguing with a big person the others called Barodir."Whats this about the Shirriffs?"she whispered to herself, "well,never mind if it's coming from him,excuse me."
She nudged Beruthiel,"where's Tol, something else, but it starts with a Tol?" She talked louder as she walked by, tending to the growing demand for eggs. "Is it near the Shire? Does it have elves?".
"Oh"Beruthiel said,"it's very far from the Shire-you might want to watch your toast".
Being turned,Belle had dropped it. "Ack," she said, fishing the toast out,"well,maybe some like it crispy...hot!...maybe lots of jam can fix-got it." She placed the piece on top of the tray of toast, which was looking ready to take out."I'll be back in a minute," she said,looking back at Beruthiel.
Belle walked out with the tray of toast."Nice,crunchy toast!Whose first?"
She walked towards Tom and Elanor who were the first to look over.
