In the Shadow of the Star: Part 1

Elanor pulled Frodo aside, making a few sandwiches to keep her mother from getting upset at them. "Did you here that Frodo? Momma said the baby kept her awake! Maybe it’s coming soon!" Elanor’s face lit up, but she heard her mother make a noise. She backed away from Frodo, putting the sandwiches in a pile.

A sleepy little Rosie came down the hall, into the kitchen. "Rosie. Go and get the other’s, and tell them to come here. We have to take care of them today." Rosie nodded, running to their rooms.

Six soon approached, and Frodo and Elanor were hurriedly dressing their siblings. Rosie struggled to comb her hair, while combing Goldilock’s. Elanor pulled on a bright blue dress, with lace on the bottom. Her mother had made it for her.

When it was time to go, the Gamgee children were standing respectively by age at door. Miz Rose stood, proud to see her children, well groomed and well behaved.
