Day began a little early the next morning.
"Wstfl?" said Runi. "Something's all screwy."
"Morning?" mumbled Valier the Grey. "Dawn take it all..."
Bifur Felagund cracked his jaw with a huge yawn, and then they saw the new rug.
It wasn't very colorful, nor spotted, nor striped, nor paisley; it was bichromatic and smelled very fresh, the eyes in the head with the wide open beak were just barely glazed.
"B-B-B-Beornomien?" they chorused, but there was no answering stutter from the floor.
