"Well met, Radagast!"
"Greetings, Mithrandir! As ever, you are hurrying to somewhere else?"
"I am heading for The Shire, I seek Thorin Oakenshield."
"The dwarf king in exile? You are going to help in his quest?"
"Perhaps. What news have you?"
"Well, darkness ever gathers about Dol Guldor, but that is hardly news."
"Indeed not: Saruman must act soon."
"Have you heard about old Bombadil, who lives close by your Shire?"
"No?"
"He has taken up with a Veela, name of Goldberry. Absolutely dotes on her!"
"I am sure they will be happy together. Farewell! Already it is almost dusk!"
