NOTICE OF TIME CHANGE IN THE INN

It is now late evening in the Shire. The sun has gone down. The stars are out, as well as a fat, pearly moon. The little lanterns have been lit that were hung in the trees about the yard.

Many of the families with children have headed home. But the younger crowd, as well as the older, unencumbered by little ones, are still at the Inn. It’s a quieter crowd with much sitting about with mugs, smoking pipes, and gossiping.

The little band is still playing and a number of the young ones are dancing.
