As he wishes

Calamir, a bit startled by Tom Ferny's violent response to the Hobbit child, took a long look at the poor lad obviously yearning for adventure. Her first instinct was to send him home where he would be safe. Casting her mind back, however, she remembered the note to Galenwen from Mithrandir that she had read the night before.

She turned to Galenwen, who was studying the child with a look of bemusment on her face. Finally, she spoke,&quot;Young sir, I do not doubt your bravery or your will, but this errand is simply far too dangerous for one as young as you.&quot;

Andy's face fell and he seemed to crumple to the ground in disappointment.

&quot;However,&quot; she continued, &quot;we do have need of a companion who would be willing to keep the ponies together for us. He would need to be quite brave, and patient, too. Would such a position interest you, Hobbit Lad?&quot;
