Meeting the Queen
I do not own any of The Hobbit characters nor The Chronicles of Narnia characters. I just love The Hobbit/LOTHR and Narnia movies. Hope u enjoy the story! Review please!
"Well," said Gandalf very glad to see that his tale was making a good impression, "I did the best I could. There we were with the wolves going mad underneath us and the forest beginning to blaze in places, when the goblins came down from the hills and discovered us. They yelled with delight and sang songs making fun of us. Fifteen birds in five fir-trees..."
"Good heavens!" Lucy said in surprised look. "Don't pretend that goblins can't count. They can. Twelve isn't fifteen and I know It." said she. "And so do 1. There were Bifur and Bofur as well. I haven't ventured to introduce them before, but here they are." In came Bifur and Bofur. "And me!" gasped Bombur pulling up behind. He was fat, and also angry at being left till last. He refused to wait five minutes, and followed immediately after the other two. "Well, now there are fifteen of you; and since goblins can count, I suppose that is all that there were up the trees. Now perhaps we can finish this story without any more interruptions." Mr. Baggins saw then how cleaver Gandalf had been.
The interruptions had really made Lucy more interested in the story, and the story had kept him from sending the dwarves off at once like suspicious beggars. She never invited people into her house, if she could help it. She had very few friends who lived in Middle-earth; and she never invited more than a couple of these to her house at a time not even her brothers and sisters. She liked her own company. Now she had got fifteen strangers sitting in his porch! By the time the wizard had finished his tale and had told of the eagles rescue and of how they had all been brought to the Carrock, the sun had fallen behind the peaks of the Misty Mountains and the shadows were long in Lucy's garden. "A very good tale" said Lucy. "The best I have heard for a long while. "If all beggars could tell such a good one, they might find me kinder. You may be making it all up, of course, but you deserve a supper for the story all the same. Let's have something to eat!"
"Yes, please!" They all said together. "Thank you very much!"
