Amaranthas opened the door wide as Rose knocked. Her wrinkled face was wreathed with a wide welcoming smile as she ushered them all into her house with a warm greeting. ‘Miz Pio, you know the way out back. Miz Rose and her brood are already here and playing on the lawn. She’ll be happy for the company. Make the introductions, if you will. I’ll be along in a moment.’

Mithadan and Ban made to follow the others out, but the old Hobbit barred their way with her cane, and asked them to give her a hand. ‘In the wagon, wrapped in those thick blankets is a small cask of ale from the Inn. Mithadan if you’ll haul that in, and Ban if you’ll take out the small cask of fresh pressed cider there by the back door, then we can wet our whistles and toast to new friends. And soon after, lay into the delicious food Cook has sent for us.’
