Poppie was almost asleep with her head in Talitha's lap. Ellod yawned. "That's so sad," said Violet quietly as tears poured down her young face.
"There, there dear," Talitha soothed as she beckoned Violet over for a hug, "it gets better, don't trouble yourself over it." Violet nodded and wiped her tears away with her hand.
"Okay, that's enough for tonight. I'll tell you some more tomorrow," Talitha told them, "Everyone snuggle up now." The older children sluggishly got their bedding situated while Talitha laid the now sleeping Poppie in her sheets. Talitha then went around to kiss each of them. She was about to climb into her own bed when she felt a slight tug at her nightgown.
She turned and saw little Poppie standing there. "Gwamma, I'm not going to have any scawy dweams like Flavia, am I?"
"No dear, you're going to have wonderful dreams. I promise."
"How do you know, Gwamma?"
Talitha smiled. "Because I've met the Sandman." Poppie gasped.
"Weally, Gwamma?"
"Yes, he promised to send you good dreams whenever I asked him to." Poppie smiled. "Now, back to bed," Talitha gently commanded.
"I'm not sleepy," objected Poppie as her eyes drooped as she fought to ward off sleep.
"Then come and climb into my bed and we'll stay up all night long together." Talitha climbed into her bed, followed by Poppie. Before Talitha could even turn out the lights, the little hobbit was fast asleep.
Slowly coming back into the waking world, the first thing Fraulette thought of was bacon. She opened one eye and realized that she wasn't just thinking of bacon, she was smelling it. Talitha was bustling about the kitchen getting breakfast ready. Presently, all five young hobbits were gathered around the table enjoying their breakfast. When they were through, they were eager to hear more of the story.
"Not yet," Talitha said, "I have some things I have to do before I continue. But, the work will go a lot faster if you all help me.
They all got their chores done as quickly as possible. Ellod and Braidy had a race to see who could be done the fastest. Ellod won, though not by much. When the chores were all complete, Talitha once more continued her story.
