Chathol-linn's post for Willowfain:

The Great Hedge loomed high above the children’s heads, even the Big children. But when you got up close, Willofain knew there would be thin branches and holes.

“Deer made some of the holes,” she said to her companions. “And then the dry weather made them worse this summer.”

“How do you know?” asked Kari.

“Because when I lived out in the country, I used to slip inside town! You see, I used to live with Aunt Ivy in a little house not so far from the crossroads. She was nice but so old! She did not want me going into town but when she took her nap I went anyway. I shouldn’t have, and now that she went to sleep and would not wake up I can’t tell her I’m sorry.”

Berilac overhead this with interest. “You used to slip inside the town? Where?”

“Here,” said the orphan, and she pointed to a large opening. To Berilac’s horror he saw it was dangerously near the West Gate, and a Hobbit child could have walked upright through it.
