Laurie walked quickly over to the hobbit bearing a tray laden with toast and took two slices. Eggs, bacon, and other delicious breakfast food was brought soon by a another helper from the kitchen, as well as a warm cup of tea made just the way she liked. Laurie sat down at a table set apart from the rest and watched the motley band of customers as she ate.
The door of the inn creaked upon once again, and a man entered. His shoulders were slumped as from carrying a heavy load but Laurie caught the glitter of bright eyes as he looked around. She felt pity for him, though she knew not why, and her eyes followed him movements with interest.
