The companions were making good time down the road. The sun had lifted their spirits and made their steps lighter. It was not long before Carl found them and held a huddled conversation with Bullroarer and Olo.

Olo and Carl went quickly down the road to look at the tracks, while Bullroarer called a stop for second breakfast. It was a poor diversion, since all that was readily available were some dried fruits, but it gave Bullroarer time to talk to the Hobbits one more time about keeping together and staying alert. And it also gave the Ranger and Carl time to study the tracks and get back to the group with a warning if needed.

The Hobbits all piled onto the bed of the wagon and sat chatting, enjoying the brief rest and the warm light on their faces.

A short while later, Carl and Olo returned, telling Bullroarer to his great relief, that the tracks looked old and that they should be able to pass safely to the Forsaken Inn.

Just a few more hours and they would be there. The Took glanced up at the invisible stars and sent out a brief plea for an uneventful journey this day.
